Yellow and/or pale stools by telman 19 y
Stool starts out green , then turns bright yellow as it goes through the digestive tract. It is bile and bacteria that finally turn it brown. Yellow or green stools can indicate stool is passing through the digestive tract too rapidly not giving it a chance to change colour. Bright yellow stools can also indicate not enough bile / bilary obstruction. Yellow stools may be also due to certain medications or diet supliments. Malabsorption problems can cause undigested fat in the stool (steatorrhea) which is characterized by foul smelling, light yellow to gray, greasy or frothy stools ... 4,229 hits

Re: Is it normal to have yellow stool during the cleanse? by hunt3r 14 y
Yellow stool can indicate that food is passing through the digestive tract relatively quickly but also insuffient bile output. Here is some technical info: Pale Stool Stool that is pale or grey may be caused by insufficient bile output due to conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones, giardia parasitic infection, hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or cirrhosis. Bile salts from the liver give stool its brownish color. If there is decreased bile output, stool is much lighter in color. Other causes of pale stool is the use of antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide. Stool may a ... 31,823 hits

Orange stools may be due to certain medications.

Another possibility is if the stool is more pale-orange, it might indicate lack of bile salt (which gives stool a brownish color).

Pale floating stools are a sign of liver problems. by drbailey 14 y View Entire Thread 6
The liver produces bile which is dark green. This bile is what gives healthy stool its brown color. A lack of bile will cause the stool to become very pale in color. The liver breaks down fats. If the liver is not functioning properly, it can’t break down the fats and the stool will always float. A good healthy stool will be the length and width of an infant’s arm. (the shape of the stool is the shape of the colon...this is why narrow, pencil-thin stools are ALWAYS cause for alarm) It will be some shade of brown & will come out in one or two well-formed pieces.
