I have done a parathyroidectomy one week ago and i am taking now calcium supplement ( 600 mg 3 times a day) in addition to one tablet of the activated form of vitamin D ( One Alpha capsules 0.25mg), but i have recently noticed that the color of the stool has changed to , it is turning white. I will really appreciate if you can help me identify the cause and if it related to the calcium intake. Thank you
