Is Pale Yellow Stool Indicative Of Gall Bladder Issues?
Recently, I have had a dull pain which feels like it goes from the sternum, thru my body and out my back. The back part is just like the pain I get from acid reflux. I m wondering if I have a gall bladder issue, my bowel movements seem to be a pale yellow/green color most of the time.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if pale yellow stool indicative of gallbladder issues. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis , gallstones or sludge in the gallbladder , pancreatitis , celiac disease , Gilbert’s syndrome or giardiasis. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , endoscopy , ultrasound along with liver function test . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole or albendazole , anti inflammatory or may recommend laparoscopic surgery , Doctor may also as you to stop taking gluten rich diet . For now eat light and non spicy , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
