A member asked:
Can gastroenteritis cause clay coloured / grey stools in a child with no other symptoms other than slight diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Light grey stool can be due to blockage of bile flow. If he has jaundice (yellow eyes), especially if he's an infant, he needs to be evaluated for liver disease (biliary atresia if infant).
