Brief Answer:
Monitor only at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

This is not surprising and well all witness these changes on transient basis during our lifetime. Monitor only and am sure we would be able to see a spontaneous resolution of this change in the color of your stool. In the absence of any further symptoms, there is really no reason to worry. Only monitor and keep me updated with any further changes for evaluation and further insights and guidance.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
