What Causes Passing Of Pale Stool?
Dear Doctor, I have chronic insulin-dependant diabetes and haemorrhoids. Over the last few weeks, I have had odd coloured stool. They are pale grey. I have also had stomach, and am losing sleep over it. Do you know what it could be? And what I can do to help it? Paddy Furlong
