Hi, I was wondering why my stool was white. I've read a few articles online and they say that it is a liver problem. This makes me very concerned especially when I'm only 16. I want to know what I can do to correct this problem. Is it the foods that I'm eating or what?
See because of presence if bile salt in stool colour is brown to yellow.... But if bile not produce by liver or if obstruction to its pathway then bile salt not present and can lead pale stool....
So this should not neglected ..... Following causes ruled out... -gall stone -liver hepatitis -cirrhosis -sclerosing cholangitis -alcohol affection -drug history -pancrease causes
For that first detail history taken.... USG abdomen done....
If cause not clear then magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography might be done....
