PALE POOP

[btufts]

has anyone had this??? Does it mean anything

[waderow]

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 also temporarily become pale after a barium enema test.

Pale stool may also be shiny or greasy, float, and be foul smelling, due to undigested fat in the stool (see soft and smelly stool).

Also don't forget intra or extra hepatic Cholestasis...but if this were the case you'd also have jaundice. But since your Natty i doubt that it's this. You probably added something new to your keto diet.

He should be adding fiber to his shake meals.

I don't kno whats been goin on lately, last week i thought i had food poisonsing as i woke up with a huge migraine and it lasted all day, then i got really dizzy and nauseous but i felt the need to go to the gym so i did, felt like i was going to die so came home, took a giant shit and everything went away!! i was perfectly fine after. and now this pale shit and yes i am natty. i havn't added anything new to the diet either its just been the same stuff as always. its just been the past few days its been like that

As Nate mentioned FIBER will be your friend when precontest dieting. Aim for 30 grams total per day.

can i get these all from a fibre supplement? will it throw off my keto?

[L3]

with regards to feeling sick...

one possibility if you felt better after taking a dump when you had been backed up for a few days, is that while you weren't regular you were reabsorbing toxins back into the blood stream via your colon. the colon is very effective at absorbing stuff into the bloodstream, hence why drug users will often go this route over oral administration. im betting this can become even worse on keto because you are releasing into your bloodstream any toxins that were fat soluble and stored in your tissue all this time at an accelerated rate as well as day to day dietary junk (not that you eat poorly...just a fact our food and environement aint as clean as it once was).

if it makes you feel any better i've been on keto for maybe 4 weeks now and have a headache or pressure behind my brow most of the day. dieting is fun eh?

I only had this once as I sort of knocked my liver a bit.. as Wade mentioned, this is often related to problems with the liver.. I'd probably get it checked out if i were you ( depending on the severity of course since I can't and don't want to see your poop)
