A member asked:

Just had white stool.i know that can indicate serious issues.do i need to see a doc asap or wait to see if it keeps happening?could it bejust a fluke?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any other symptoms?: White pale stool may reflect a significant biliary obstruction or profound liver disease (often with accompanying jaundice). Or the white may be just a coating of mucus (a colon lubricant) which when present in large volume may signal problems with colon spasm (ie. Irritable bowel syndrome), partial obstruction, infection, and even sloughed colon lining due to a variety of diseases. Get checked.
