What Causes Pale White Stool After Taking Imodium A-D?

My mom died of colon cancer at age 58. I m now 35 and have had 2 colonoscopies (2nd came back with a Benin polyp). My last colonoscopy was April of last year but I m having some issues. 2 moths ago it started with constipation my doctor changed up my medication and that helped a little but not to much. Last Tuesday I got really sick with diarrhea, vomiting abdominal cramping and bloating. I thought it was just a virus but the diarreah is still present. I took Imodium AD today and my stool turned white almost like a flesh color. I m a little concerned considering my family history.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms that you have may not be due to malignancy but this could be due to some non specific reasons and such diarrhea may not need any treatment some this may not be due to any pathology, better not to take Imodium it is not good for health, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
