What Causes Stomach Bloating With Flatulence And Pale Stools?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
I have been increasing my fiber intake and ever since I feel bloated and have alot of excess gas.
Also, today my stools were very pale, like a clay color. Another symptom i have been feeling is alot of nausea. Could any of this be due to increased fiber?

Hello,
It is due to a possible problem with the liver, bile drainage system, or digestive enzymes; not related to fiber intake. Basic workup with stool laboratory and ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis highly appreciate for further management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
