Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Yes depending on which multivitamin you are taking, it can result in altered coloured of stools. Once you have stopped multivitamin check your stools after 3 days. If the colour should become normal, in case the colour is still different then visit your physician as a stool examination will be required.
Hope that answers your query,
Regards. Dr.Imaad.
