Hello, i recently started taking probiotics, and now i am having small white clumps in my stool. i stopped using the probiotics and am still noticing?

Unusual: That's unusual. What led you to take a probiotic? Most likely the stool abnormality is from something other than the probiotic. If it persists more than a week or 2 then a medical exam would be reasonable.

Is it normal for one stool to be two shades of brown? (looks like milk and dark chocolate was mixed). Have been increasing fiber and probiotic intake recently.

Recently, I've started to poop every 48hrs instead of my usual 24-36hrs. But now when I go, it's still loose even with longer transit time. Also added more fiber to diet/new probiotic. Could diet/probiotic explain the loose stool/longer transit time?
I used to eat ~1 cup of yogurt/day but stopped recently. For the last few weeks I've had loose stools 1x/day. Is this related due to probiotics?
Stools look normal now, still smell really weird. Been off Flagyl abt a month. But smell started before then anyway. Yogurt for probiotics didn't help?
