What food can change your stool to pale? also i take two protonix a day. two for 6 weeks could these cause pale stools?

The color/tint of poop is the product of germ action on the ultra-green bile added from the liver in transit. If poop stays a long time it is darker brown. Intermediate time=some shade of yellow. Rapid-transit would likely be a shade of green. I wouldn't bother blaming your food or the med.
