Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Grey stool may be sign of certain liver issues and he should do liver ultrasound and check liver markers for it. Constipation may be associated so more detailed evaluation is required, although in his age some serious diagnoses are not likely. It may be just caused by certain diet and food allergies so allergy tests should be done if liver is fine.

Hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us anytime.

Wish you good health.

Kind regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
