What Causes Pale Yellow Colored Stool In A Teenager?
Hello, for the past 2 days I ve been having pale slightly yellowish stools, I m a 19 year old male with no severe medical diseases, I did have gastritis a couple months ago. I m currently taking pantoprazole to deal and prevent the gastritis. And a month ago I had some blood exams and the liver functions came out fine. What could be the reason for the change in colour and how can I fix it ?
Hello. This usually means a rapid transit of food through the digestive tract and nothing serious, but if it continues for a week then you need to have a stool sample sent to the lab to look for an infection
