A member asked:
How common is it to have pale stools after a stomach virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usnual: The color of stools depends on multiple factors, including what you have eaten, the bacterial flora present in your colon, the amount of bile you are putting out, and other factors. As long as your stools are not entirely white in color this will correct itself shortly and you will be reassured. Good luck.
