Q: what causes a white stool? could it be from new meal replacement shakes with increased fiber?

: It is possible that the stool color is related to your new supplement. However, light colored stools may also be related to the processing of bile salts in the liver. You could consider stopping the meal replacement shakes and seeing what happens with the stools first.
