What Causes White Coloured Stool?
I am a male, 16 years old from Scotland.
For the first time today I went to the toilet and I done a poo which had a pale, white colour through it!
Last night I ate a chicken pasanda from the Indian tale-away and a 2 litre bottle of strongbow(cyder) two nights previous.. im not sure if this determines the colour of my poo though! i do not exercise much and weigh 8 stone. and my diet is not very good.
I have had a cold recently too so im not very sure if this affects it either!
But yes, i have read about white poo and the feedback i have received is not very good and i am a bit worried.. so please reply asap! thankyou. Aaron

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your.
Single episode of pale or white color stools does not mean you have any liver and pancreatic problem.
These things are mostly related to food ingredients and the materials associated with food. You don't need to worry.
If your urine colour is dark red continously since weeks or months, you need to visit a general physician for further evaluation.
Hope my answer will help you and you can visit us again for further queries in future.
Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
