A member asked:

I've had light yellow colored stools for over 2 weeks. could this be due to eating too many tangerines? (1-2 a day)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yellow: Please stop taking the tangerines for several days and see if the stool colors go back to "normal". If yes, you know not to take tangerines. If no you must see your doctor. Please let me know what happens.
