Can benefiber chewables cause a different color in stools?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Benefiber can sometimes trap bile acids. A variation in the amount of bile acids in your stool can cause a change in the color. It is not dangerous, and the benefits of fiber far outweigh any psychological concerns about what color your stools are! ** good luck!
