What Causes White Colored Stool?
I would like to know the cause of my recent white stools. I have no pain and feel fine. I went to dr. and he is having me get an abdominal ultrasound but in the meantime im scared. He advised me it could be a blocked bile but wasnt very specific. I will say I was sick with the common cold and took cold and cough medicine, nyquil dayquil, etc....but stopped 2 days ago and now have white stool

Hello,
There can be different reasons as
- A side effect of the drug consumed for cough and cold.
- Altered gut flora mechanics.
- Issues with liver, gall bladder, bile drainage system.
You need evaluation with stool microscopy, ultrasound reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
