Pale Stools

Shades of stools can come in different tones of brown, largely depending on your eating habits, which refers to how people eat, which foods they eat, etc. Stools that are pale are abnormal. Your liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and other components of your biliary system may not be draining properly if your feces are pale or clay-colored. However, the pale stool is abnormal and one of the signs of hepatitis A. If you experience this kind of odd color, you should see a doctor right away for an dianose. The Hepatitis A virus is what causes the pale or clay-like feces.

Pale stool can occasionally be a symptom of liver illnesses such as cirrhosis and hepatitis. The stool can also become white due to the usage of aluminum hydroxide in some drugs, such as antacids, and the white material barium, which is used for X-rays of the digestive system.
