A member asked:
What do i do if i have light brown to yellow stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The poop is colorized by bile added during digestion. It transitions from an ultra green through yellows to browns based on germ action & metabolic changes during transition. The longer the transition the more a move to browns. The shorter the more likely to be a green to yellow. What you describe is a variant of normal. We don't worry about or treat normal.
