Brief Answer:
Needs observation..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
White and pale stool needs close observation. Most often the symptom resolve gradually in few days. If she persists to have pale stools for a week, becomes less active, feverish, then she needs to be checked by her pediatrician.
Therefore in short, my suggestion to you will be to wait for few more days before you start to explore for reasons.
Let me know if you need clarifications.

She doesn't have any sypmtoms except not eating properly.she is a fussy eater from day1.
Brief Answer:
need not be worried...
Detailed Answer:
The current symptom generally doesn't have any direct relation to her eating habit. As I mentioned earlier, in the absence of other symptoms I would just closely observe stools for few more days before pressing for investigations.
Most parents aren't satisfied with their children's diet. But if your child is otherwise healthy, attained milestones and weigh normally, then you shouldn't be very worried about diet. I suggest parents not to be very strict with children's diet. In other words, don't force upon what you eat. Feed them what they like; but restrict amount sweets and chocolates. With time and patience, they do get normal with eating. You can discuss with her pediatrician whenever their is a concern.
Hope this is clear.
