Stools are a very pale grey color

[Dras]

:sign0085:Ok, since this is a very open forum, I have a very embarrassing question!!
I've recently noticed that my stools are a very pale grey colour. ADVICE ADVICE!! Please?? Anyone with the same experience??

Stool that is pale or grey may be caused by insufficient bile output due to conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones, giardia parasitic infection, hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or cirrhosis. Bile salts from the liver give stool its brownish color. If there is decreased bile output, stool is much lighter in color.

Other causes of pale stool is the use of antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide. Stool may also temporarily become pale after a barium enema test.

Hope that helps.

Coming from someone who has pooped almost as many colors as Crayola, it could just be something you ate.

Ah... the mysteries of Poo!

Oh, it's possible. Just don't expect the pot to be full of gold!

I went to the Indy 500 this weekend and HAD to use the porta potty and saw all sorts of poo. The one that stuck into my mind was ORANGE!!! Bet that guy didn't even notice.
