Question about light colored stools/Andy?

[Guest guest]

This is something I need advice about. I give my son many

supplements, including oregano oil, a lot of probiotics, magnesium

taurate, fish oils, zinc, milk thistle, glycine, taurine, enzymes,

vitamins. He is doing great on them, but his stools became light-

colored (yellow or very light brown). Is this something I should be

concerned about? Should I discontinue any of these supplements? (I

have a suspicion that it comes from magnesium, but I am not sure).

Does it indicate liver problems? Is it safe to start new round of

chelation while the stool is light-colored?

Thank you,

Margaret
