Paler Stools

Hello,

Over the last week I've been getting quite pale stools. They aren't white, but they are very light brown. I've attached the sort of colour.

I've asked my doctor about this, however because my Billirubin last week was normal and I'm not jaundiced (only ALT is raised, echo - fatty liver) he said this must be caused by something else other than the liver, perhaps diet?

Thanks.

Hi,

Has the GP sent away a stool sample for testing at the lab? You may want to consider discussing that with the GP?

Best wishes
