Hi i think i may have just had a mild case of norovirus, caught from my daughter via day care. however i have noticed my poo is now very pale or white?

Not unusual : POO color is determined by how much bile gets put into your stools. This can get thrown off a bit after a viral infection. Give it a few week to get back to normal as long as you are NOT looking yellow/jaundiced. If that happens, see doc right away. Otherwise, things should be back to normal by the end of the month.
