What Causes Changes In Stool Color After Having Probiotics?
Question: I have been taking probiotics for a while now but have noticed my stool color change. I have also started a diet where I eat a lot of fruit..mostly oranges. Its like yellowish orange. Is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Perfectly normal if consumed yellowish orange fruits...
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
I understand your concerns.
Please bare in mind that changes in stool culture do not necessary mean you have any health problem. What you eat matters too.
So, if you have been eating a lot of fruit, mostly oranges, then, most probably, the yellowish orange. I advise to stop eating oranges or any other fruit with yellow-orange color for some days and observe the changes in your stool color.
As long as there is nothing worrisome found in lab tests and you have an excellent health, then, you shouldn't be worried too much as these changes are perfectly normal.
All the best!
