changes in stool gallbladder??

[Mcmargo]

I am female 46 YO for 3 days I had pale or white stools. Then 4the day had light brown with yellow mixed in. Then 5th day normal brown with big chunks sticking of white. I have been having  constant mild discomfort right shoulder blade radiating to the side to the from beneath the ribs &, shoulder. But the pain does get worse after some meals Noticed it might be gallbladder so I started eating better on day #4 but still have mild pain. Doesn't gallbladder problems stones have consistence white stools or pale?or is it how much fat u eat? I have hi deductible insurance & my husband already has multiple problems lately shingles & banding of hemorrhoid.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The symptoms mentioned could also be caused by cervical spondylosis. Some metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are known to simulate these symptoms. Please consult your primary care physician who will carry out blood tests and x rays to rule out these conditions. You seem to be very anxious and in pain, take OTC pain medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Try applying local analgesic creams. Place ice over the painful area every 1-2hrs for pain relief. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Talk to your doc about this. Bile is the substance that colors the stool. It's put out as yellowy-green, but as it's acted on by digestion it slowly turns brown. Without the bile, the fecal material would be gray or whitish. So the stools you're having sound like they're not being mixed with bile, or somehow the bile isn't being released into the duodenum. It can be caused by a variety of issues including stones.
