Hi,I just wondered about stool color, since the last 3 weeks or so I have been doing much better. I think stress has been a BIG factor in my IBS and I am doing 98% well right now, eating well and avoiding triggrs. Anyway, when I was having my D trouble, I always noticed my stool to have an "orangish" cast to it in addition to being loose. As I have felt better, it has been much more of a "normal" brown color, and more solid, especially when I avoid fatty foods and etc. I am nearly drug free, not having had immodium or anything like that for over 3 weeks, and only took nulev once, last week (which seemed to avert an attack.)So the long and the short - can immodium and or other drugs cause the orange cast? Is brown more "normal"?ThanksTom

Whether or not meds can altar color (although I know that Peto Bismal can), I'm not sure. But, the color can adjust for anyone from the food you eat. I'm not sure that you can come up with a real good definition of what is a normal color. There's a lot of shades of brown
