Intermittent pale light tan stools come n go no jaundice. comp. meta. panel. norma. can have 2-3 days light tan (peanut butterish) then normal dark brown . is this worrisome or not so much i have ibs n take probiotics. just worried something bad.tia?

Pale or light tan stools are usually soft and occur with more rapid transit of fecal matter through the intestinal tract. Intermittent soft or loose stools often occur in the irritable bowel syndrome. You don't appear to have malabsortion, pancreatic, liver or gall bladder pathology to explain pale stools.
