Hi,

Your stool colour had been changed.

So I suggest you to rule out enterocolitis like infective condition for further work up.

For that you can investigate with stool routine micro examination and occult blood test.

You can revert back with reports once done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
