Is Light Colored Stool Due To Intake Of Lactulose?

I took 10 ml of Lactulose about 2 hours ago and I just had a BM. My stool was very light tan in color? Can Lactulose cause this as my stool yesterday, before Lactulose today, was a normal brown color? Nothing else has changed, medication or dietary wise. Is this normal?
