lighter colored stool

[J5527]

hi everyone, I recently started eating this bread and chickpeas. I noticed my stool was almost blonde once last week and once this week. I'm trying to to freak out and hoping it's possibly the ingredients in the bread or the chickpeas. Anyone ever experience this or eaten similar ingredients that have experienced this. The bread has Arrowroot flour, psyllium husk powder , cashew butter,sauerkraut, golden flaxseed meal.

There are many possible causes of pale stools. Some of the common causes include: Certain medications, such as the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (EC-Naprosyn), birth control pills, some antibiotics, and anabolic steroids can cause drug-induced hepatitis. The food you eat also has a lot to do with color but if you are here because of a liver concern it can also be the result of obstructed bile flow. A lot of the brown color we commonly see is produced by the bile so if it persists it is reasonable to speak to your doc.

If you are really concerned, do what I did sounds gross...take a picture to show your doctor. Mine was fine, no concern but sometimes light, dark, medium browns. I don't worry about it much anymore but if there's a dramatic change or it floats, then I might. Good luck.

Tomorrow I'm gonna give my dr a call. I'm a bit worried. I have been eating so good and working out. Hope it's nothing. You already know my anxiety is a mess.
