hi - usually the simplest explanation for the lighter color of stool is your diet. do you eat mostly lighter colored foods? Second, bile can cause the yellowish color and can irritate your gut if there's nothing in your intestines to absorb it. Questran (cholestyramine - I may have spelled that wrong) is an inexpensive drug that can help with that and is known to be pretty safe to take. Check with your doc.
