I recently.......

gave up cola because I read an article on how bad it is for you, and felt it was doing my health no good anyway. Besides the fact that I do feel a lot healthier, and strangely seem to have more energy, it seems to have changed the colour of my 'solid evacuations' from a dark brown to almost yellow. Sorry if this question is a bit sick, but Im not worried or anything, just wondering if anyone knew why???

Yellow stool is a form of 'pale stool'. Even though you put it down to the cola it is worth checking it out. A change in feces colour can indicate health problems. Stools do change colour based upon diet & health problems so if it persists i would definately go to your GP.

Any change in the usual brown colour should be pointed out to a physician cos it could indicate problems with the liver or jaunice.
