A member asked:
What causes pale yellow stool (thin narrow/loose crumbly)? epigastric & left abdomen discomfort, nausea. 10days symptomatic. 20s f no gallbladder.

Uhoh: cannot say in your particular case...and.... the liver puts broken down blood pigment into the stool. If the liver is blocked up, the pigment doesnt go into the stool. this leads to yellow jaundice, but more importantly it implies liver problems or liver damage.
