Hello,

It could be a part of jaundice which leads to clay colored stool. Generally, it will settle by itself. Avoid oily food.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
