Is Stool Of A Lighter Discoloration A Concern?
Question: Would this be a normal color for stool? I noticed my stool was lighter than normal this afternoon. Is this color ok?
Brief Answer:
It looks almost normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The color of the stools slightly changes with your food intake and any recent use of drugs also.
The stool color looks almost normal and nothing much to worry.
If you have any symptoms like abdominal pain, loose stools, you can go for a stool routine examination to rule out conditions like gastroenteritis or worm infestation.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
