: You don’t say if you are having any symptoms like pain, fever, etc. Stool color is often due to what was consumed in the diet. An evaluation by a GI doctor should be pursued if you have any symptoms or if this is a significant change in bowel habits for you, especially if there are no dietary changes. Good luck to you!
