Below are common stool colours, their potential causes, and when to worry: Green stool Possible cause: Diet high in green vegetables (e.g., spinach, kale) Iron supplements Food passing through the intestines too quickly (e.g., diarrhoea), preventing bile from fully breaking down When to be concerned: If accompanied by diarrhoea, it may indicate digestive issues Yellow Stool Possible cause: Undigested fat, possibly linked to gallbladder or pancreas function Greasy, butter-like stool with foul odour may signal malabsorption (e.g., coeliac disease, pancreatic disorders, parasites) Consuming high-fat foods (e.g., fried foods) Eating gluten-containing foods (e.g., bread, grains) may signal gluten sensitivity or food allergy When to be concerned: If greasy yellow stool persists, consult a doctor Pale/White/Clay-coloured Stool Possible cause: Lack of bile, possibly due to bile duct blockage (e.g., gallstones, pancreatic tumours) or liver disease (e.g., hepatitis) Certain medications, such as antacids with aluminium hydroxide, high doses of bismuth subsalicylate (e.g., Pepto-Bismol), antidiarrheal drugs, or barium used in X-rays When to be concerned: This signals potential liver, or bile obstruction issues (either benign or malignant) and requires immediate medical attention, especially if accompanied by anorexia and weight loss
