Brief Answer:
Does not seem to be related to Imodium

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Taking Imodium may cause you to pass stool more frequently but is unlikely to give you white stools. The light colored stool is perhaps not a cause of concern. However, if it keeps ongoing, I would appreciate if you could take an image and upload it here. I could guide you accordingly thereafter.
