2 colors?

curious_george1234

I went to the bathroom and all in the same sitting I noticed one of my stools were light brown and the others were dark brown. What does this mean? I've never had 2 colors in the same sitting before.

This discussion is related to two colored bowel movements.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community! This is perfectly normal. It is just because you ate something different that made your stool lighter or darker, and this stool didn't mix with your other stool in your colon. There is nothing to worry about.
