Stool color change: It is possible that changes in diet and medications can temporarily cause pale colored stool. In general pale or clay-colored stools are not normal. Stop taking probiotic to see if resolves. If pale stool persists it is advised that you be evaluated by a physician to review your med history,diet, medications and determine further lab testing.
