Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As you don't have symptoms like vomiting,diarrhoea,fever,it may not be food poisoning.As you come back from vacation,you may had different kinds of food,that may have resulted in your present symptoms like light brown colour of your stools.So,no need to worry.It will get settled by a day or two.
Drink plenty of fluids and fruit juices.
Eat lot of green leafy vegetables.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
