If your Poop is grey or white , does that mean you need more nutrients?

[Ming the Merciless]

My "friend" just took a Pawnmower and 'told me' it was a lot lighter in color than normal...like a weird grey tan

..

Just out of curiosity does this have to do with vitamins or what?

Please help "my friend" understand what this means

This is a shitty thread.

I think it has to do with lack of bile in your stool. Not a doctor or anything, and could be way off base, but I think your food is being digested too quickly and not being processed as thoroughly as it should. Or it could just be something you ate.

I nearly keeled over when I had a olive drab crap; straight Army green. Turns out it was from drinking a heavily purple dyed beer.

Any pains in your abdomen?

Light-colored, white or clay-colored - A lack of bile in stool.

This may indicate a bile duct obstruction

Also caused by certain medications, such as large doses of bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol) and other anti-diarrheal drugs.

White stool isn't normal and should be evaluated promptly by a doctor. White stool is caused by a lack of bile, which may indicate a serious underlying problem.

Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Stool gets its normal brownish color from bile, which is excreted into the small intestine during the digestive process. If the liver doesn't produce bile or if bile is obstructed from leaving the liver, stool will be light colored or white.

Often the problem occurs in the tube (duct) that delivers the bile to the small intestine. This tube can be squeezed shut or blocked — for example, by a tumor or a gallstone — which prevents the bile from entering the small intestine. Some babies are born with constricted bile ducts. Liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, also can sometimes cause white stool.

You need to eat more chocolate... or eat more poop... pretty sure it's chocolate, though.

How long has it been going on for "your friend"?

[Iowanian]

Nursowanian says white turds is related to liver issues.

I personally only have had one person in real life tell me of this and I encourage your friend.....to go to a doctor soon.

[AndChiefs]

I had this happen last week. Went to the doctor and my liver is not working well/nearly at all. See a doctor.
