Tan stool: Tan stool is seen with more rapid transit of stool through the intestines as can be seen with irritable bowels, inflammation of the intestinal tract like viral infection, or other types of colitis. If you are having continual abdominal discomfort,especially with associated abdominal tenderness or fever, you should be examined by your physician.
