Bowel Movement Changes

Choledocholithiasis can block the entry of bile into the intestines, and lack of bile can cause light stools. Also, the excess fats that can accumulate when bile isn't present can make the stools appear yellow or the color of clay.

Stool consistency can also change with choledocholithiasis, becoming looser and evolving into bouts of diarrhea that can be explosive and smelly. Nausea and vomiting may accompany these changes in the bowel habits.1’Gallstones.’ Mayo Clinic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseasesconditions/gallstones/symptoms-causes/syc-20354214
