Brief Answer:
Liver disease is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The pale stools possibly with dark urine and yellow colouration of skin is a sign of liver dysfunction or disease.
You should do a liver chemistry to check ALP, AST, bilirubin total, direct and indirect.
This tests will show liver function.
Also you should check gallbladder for gallbladder stones and inflammation.
Even fatty liver can give pale stools and yellow skin.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

OK then the pale stools come as a result of fatty liver.
A good diet for fatty liver is rich in fiber, fruits and vegetables, especially great leafy vegetables, low sugar and low salt.
