the color of your stool is determined by the food that you eat. Fruits make your stool light-coloured. Beef gives a dark coloured stool.

Beta-carbolines (in cooked foods) and opioid peptides (in wheat and dairy products) sedate the bowels. This causes the bowels to work slower and the stool remains in the body longer. Due to this prolonged stay in the bowels, more water is absorbed from the stool, and the stool gets more solid, to such an extend that even constipation may be caused.

Now that your bowels no longer are sedated by beta-carbolines and opioid peptides, the stool will be more loose.
With time, your bowels will have adapted to this 'new situation', and your stool will normalize. (will be perfect)
