What Causes Pale Stool After Binge Eating The Dried Cranberries?
Question: I just noticed pale stool from my last defecation, see attached. I'm 25, been having some gas an more than frequent bowl movement, but I've been chalking it up to the large bag of dried cranberries I have been feasting on the last couple of days. The number of meals I've been eating a day has varied from one to all three. there was one day I ate all three times, but had to force myself to eat, breakfast and lunch. How concerned should I be about my previous defecation?
Brief Answer:
Stools look quite normal, likely due to bingeing on cranberries.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for writing in with your query.
I have reviewed the attached image and I do not think it is grossly abnormal.
If all this started only after you started binge eating the dried cranberries, then it will return to original state once you stop eating so many dried cranberries.
As of now, there is not much to worry about, eat normally, and stop eating too many cranberries, you will be fine.
Keep me posted about the progress, and let us see how things turn up going forward.
Wishing you good health.
Best.
