Brief Answer:
Almonds can change stool color but should not last more then next day

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using "Ask a doctor".
I read your query and I understand your concern.

Eating a lot of Almonds causes digestive problems like diarrhea, bloating and stool color change can happen sometimes. Especially if you have eaten them with other nuts like cashews, then for sure you will have white stool the next day you will have a bowel movement.

But, if the stool color is like that after some days, then consider seeing a local doctor. Stool color changes indicate quite often problems with liver and gallbladder. So doing some lab tests and checking those organs would be my advice if the stool continues to stay in that color.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Klarida Papaqako
