Re: pale stools , what do they mean?

[Guest guest]

My stools change color drastically depending on what I eat. Imagine my surprise

when I glanced in the toilet about 8 hours after eating a bowl of Trix. I did a

doubletake!

On the other hand, consistently pale stools are a sign of liver disease. Keep

an eye on them and if it persists, be sure to let your doctor know.

I know they are a common symptom but I also read somewhere what brings

the change of color on. I figured someone in this group would know.

Thanks,

Hi . I hope you are hanging in there, and getting on that list. I think

that a lack of bile can be a cause of stools being pale. This is one thing that

clued me in to the fact that I was sick, besides the pain back in June 06. My

stools were bright yellow to clay colered. I looked it up, and it said many

places that bile colors stools to be brown, but a lack of it makes tham clay.

Mine were flourescent yellow to black?green. Sorry everyone. Sorry .

Hi Colleen,

I am not new here although you probably wouldn't know that as I have

been reading but not posting to much lately.

I am pre-transplant and I am the virtual pincushion as they say. I

have my own army of Dr's so they are aware...

I just thought I saw someone post a link.....*who could that be???*

LOL that explained what changes in the body to change the color. I

was wondering if I am getting worse...Or is it a sign of rising

ammonia levels...stuff like that.

Sorry I haven't said hello....but *hi* and welcome!

Hi ,

This sounds gross, but I do keep an eye on the color of my stools and try to

correlate them with what I've eaten. Sometimes I'm stumped, but then finally I

remember oh yeah, I ate this. Mine have never been persistently pale or chalk

colored though (except after the barium swallow I once had).

How far up are you on the transplant list?

Hi Colleen,

As you can see from my last post, I am not on the list yet. My MELD

has been holding at around 26-27 for the few months. And with my

blood type and frame they said they don't think it will be to long

once I am listed before they find a liver for me.

I keep a blog if you are interested. It is a great way for me to

journal and also share with friends and family what has been going

on. I have been remiss in posting of late but will catch it up

tonight or tomorrow. The address is www.reallife-

withus.blogspot.com if you are interested. To start at the beginning

go to the lower left archives...
