See answer: Likely reflux and tan stools aren't related. Having tan stools occasionally can be normal. But if the change is persistent it can indicate a problem in the hepatobiliary system(liver, gallbladder and bile ducts) causing an obstruction to the flow of bile, and you should see a physician.
