Stool color & liver : One pale stool is not indicative of any serious liver disease, unless it recurs and is accompanied by other symptoms such as loss of appetite, jaundice (yellow discoloration of eyes and skin), nausia/vomiting and abdominal pain. Frequently stool colors change with varying diet contect
