Also you could have a liver panel ran. Alot of times feces is grey when there are problems with your liver. Go to your Dr. and get a test or visit privatelabmd.com and you can order your own liver panel and only you get the results. it costs about $45. good way to cheaply check certain things.

Have her call her doctor and report the change in her bowel movement color. A change in color to a gray or very light white color could indicate a change in her output of bile. It may be something the doc will want to follow up on.
