what does it mean when your stool is light
Stools that are pale, white, or look like clay or putty may be the result of a lack of bile or by a blockage in the bile ducts. Stools that are light in color or look like clay can also occur after a test in the colon that uses barium (such as a barium enema), because the barium may be passed in the stool. But in the absence of such a test being done recently, pale stools could be the result of something else happening in the digestive tract.
