Hello,

Grey color stools with high color urine may be hepatitis or obstructive jaundice or cholecystitis or cholelithiasis etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Get it done ultrasound abdomen, urine for bile salts and pigments.

Pantoprazole probably may not cause this problem.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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