A member asked:
I just recently had the flu and i noticed my stool is light colored now. can the flu cause this?

Flu stool color: Flu is a very broad term. Stomach flu? URI flu? Which one? Light colored stool is also not very specific and in the eye of the beholder. Does it look like milk, or white, or are you stools normally very dark like black and now are not so? Show to your team. Depends on what you eat and your stool transit time. Recommend you google stool color and look at images and see how you match up.
