Hi all, sorry for the nasty question, but I feel I need to know if I should contact the doc or not.

I seem to be having pale or clay colored poops lately and doing some research it seems that this can be caused by not enough Bile in the digestive tract.

Could also be Gallstones, or medications.

Anyone else have this problem? Should I contact my Surgeon? Or should I just wait a day or two?

I had that until I added veggies and fruit. I think you should call to set your mind at ease, but for me it was normal. I am 7 weeks post surgery.

Thanks I am 6weeks PO tomorrow, I think I am not getting enough veggies. I will just make sure I am getting enough, and monitor it this week, if it doesn't come right I'll see the doc next week.

Thanks

I have heard this is a sign of low iron.

Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to take my iron pills this weekend, so that could be it.

Mines the same color. I call it the sand storm. Lol.

Me, too. I haven't discovered a pattern but I'll look for causes you all suggested. I do take iron every day so don't think it's that, unless I'm not taking enough. Glad to know I'm not the only weird one!

I'm there with y'all! And I take my Iron everyday too...hmmm...

Well I am glad hat I'm not the only one, I am gonna do my best to eat more veg, and take my Iron daily, and will see if it changes. I may just take one for the team and see my doc next week.

Try having more veg and less fatty food if you are having any. Made sure I had my Iron supplement and veggies yesterday and today my poop looked normal in color.

I will keep monitoring it. The scale also moved down a pound. Now 35lbs down since surgery.

Lmbo

Blahahahhahaha

Could drinking a bottle of wine daily create “white poop”?

If you are getting adequate fluids and still have dark urine along with your clay- colored ?I definitely would say Gall Bladder or liver problems. And with liver get even more symptoms, but to allay your fears see either your surgeon if you're still in Early Days or your PCP if you're farther along. My PCP is an internal medicine specialist and he just ❤sharing ME with all his buddies in other specialis

He's just a " Refering Fool" at times! Sometimes I yearn for the days when Doctors practiced General Medicine, showing my age aren't I?
