Not worrisome: Often there is slowing in the large intestine or partial blockage from impacted stool that leads to constipation. When this finally breaks free, the released stool can be excreted gradually...in multiple BM's.So not surprising. Light colored stool usually means lack of bile from the gall bladder, but if just once probably means little. Push fiber, fluids, exercise to combat constipation. Good luck
