If it is be sure to collect a sample to show the doctor...put a small sample in a plastic baggie and if you can't get in right away then just refrigerate for awhile. light brown is ok but clay colored or white can indicate other things might be going on. Of course also note what she has eaten over the course of the week. good luck with that.

Hi, I noticed light coloured (kind of yellow) poo in my 8 year old daughter one evening (not diarrhea). Just keep checking...It freaked me out the first time,but the next day it turned light brown. It really could be a one off.....just monitor it.

best,

c
