Noticed Pale Colored Stools & Cramps
I have never had this happen before, but I am having normal cramps like normal and normal bowel movements. While at work, I used the rest room and I saw that my stool was grey and I am on my period. What exactly does that mean, do I need to be worried?

Hello,
I really appreciate your concern, because of the digestion function disturbances such consistency of stool is likely. Sometimes, it may be due to the diet taken and in either of this case no need to take any medicine but it is the self-limiting condition. Care needs to be taken for hydration and diet like drink more water, avoid eating spicy and oily food, and at the most you can try probiotic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
