What Causes Clay Colored Stool And Abdominal Pain?

I have been experiencing cold-like symptoms for the last few days. My father had the same symptoms and was better after four or so days. Today, however, I noticed that my stool color was a clayish white accompanied with moderate abdominal pain on my right side. Is this cause for concern?

Additional information. I have been drinking plenty of fluids (water and gatorade with the occasional soda) and haven't had any dietary changes. I have been taking vitamin C tablets, Sudafed, and Nyquil. I was in the Bahamas three weeks ago. I have had intercourse with only my girlfriend in the last year, prior to I had been tested for hepatitis and other STDs, all of which came back negative. I also chew tobacco regularly.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The clay stool with abdomen pain suggests disorder with bile drainage system, bile ducts, pancreas or liver.

It is strongly suggested to consult your family doctor immediately and get liver function tests with ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
