A member asked:
My stools looks light brown and pasty?

Stools come in different colors, shapes and consistencies depending on the foods and drinks one takes. Brown pasty stool with no associated symptoms is nothing to worry about. A little more drinking water might be needed, that's all. But if one remains concerned, see Gastroenterologist.

Color and shape of stools may vary based on diet and other factors. Medications and fluid status may also affect stools. If you have longterm concerns about this you may wish to consult your doctor
