    Pale stools, freaking out

    So I've been feeling a lot better lately. Until 5 miniutes ago and I went to the bathroom and my stool was shockingly light. Like a light tan color. I didn't have to google to know that it means something is wrong bile and fat in my body. I've never had this before and I'm freaking out. It's my boyfriends birthday and Halloween and I wanted to drink but now I'm afraid I'm going to go into pivoted failure. Idk what's wrong or what to do. My doctor is closed by now and I'm totally freaking out. I can't find any normal cause online of what would cause this.

    I've had this happen before. It's probably just passed through your system faster and didn't absorb like normal.

    I have experienced this a lot. I’ve been told that any shade of brown including tan is acceptable and only need be brought up if the change persists.

    What have you been eating?

    I hadn't eaten anything today except for a coffee with cream in it all day so maybe that was it, since there was nothing in my system except that coffee?

    Just remember that the colour of what goes in can very much change the colour of what comes out. I would say it’s very likely that it’s the case that only having coffee in your system is the reason for the light colour

    Mine are often very light. It means it's moved too quickly through your body or you've eaten lots of pale food. It's white or grey that's a worry
