What Does Discoloration In Stool Indicate?
Hi, it's been about a month that i noticed that my stool is light colored (more towards the yellow). I can get that for about 5-7 days and then for a couple of days returns to be brown (normal color). What shall I do? do you advice any kind of test or exams? thanks. i am 37, and am 184 pounds.

hello
thank you for trusting HCM
dear discoloration of stool may vary according to your food. if your taking turmeric or yellow color fruit contain food may cause yellow stools but brown colour also seen in beetroot,other food. if you have altered bowel movements with Pain along with altered colour you may get it done stool examination. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
