Diarrhea & stool: Likely not - the color of stool is influenced by diet and that amount of bile excreted into the intestines. Given the diarrhea - your first solid stools may be a different color than normal for you. I would NOT be too concerned unless it continues for several days. Sometimes pasty colored stools are a sign of gallbladder issues.

Not : Temporary change the stool color for a couple days are generally nothing to worry about unless your stool is black or bloody. Consult Healthtap for specific advice
