A member asked:
Yesterday when i had a bowel movement i noticed the color was a little pale looking. this is the first time i've noticed this. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : it can change color depending on what you've eaten. If there are other symptoms or if the lighter color stays, then you need to see your physician to make sure that there is no other internal intestinal issue that's causing this.
