Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband swore me not to tell anyone one. He has had white stools for two days. We were on a week long motorcycle trip and of course ate out and now that he s back to work in the heat tells me this morning. He just texted me and said he s coming home with a splitting headache and doesn t feel well. He does take a lot of Advil and/or Aleve for back pain. His brother died two years ago from Burkett s Lymphoma, so I need to know when I must insist he get to Dr.? I love this tough guy and want to keep him around. We thought maybe waiting a day to see if the color came back but if he s felling worse... It s hard being a wife to a guy that having trouble getting older and doesn t want to go to Dr too soon.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). White stool may be due to some disease in either liver or billiary tract so I will suggest you to take him to a doctor for evaluation or get tests like Liver function tests and ultrasound abdomen to see for the cause.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help him. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too.
