Hi. the colour of my stools are often pale coloured or slightly clay in colour. i am a drinker. will they go back to normal if i stop drinking?

Not certain: I can't be certain clay colored stools can be due to intestinal or liver problems even gallstones could do this, so you need to see your physician and maybe see a gastroenterologist
