10 Gallbladder Attack Symptoms

Symptom #6: Changes in Urine and Stool Color
In a gallbladder attack where there is a blockage of the bile duct, the bile pigment can cause the color of urine to change to a dark yellow or brown color. Many patients often compare it to the color of tea. However, since bile salts are the substance that gives color to stool (giving it the brown color), pale stools are also indicative of a blocked bile duct.
The stool also tends to float and bowel movement increases. Try not to confuse blood-tinged urine with changes in urine color due to a blocked bile duct. If in doubt, always consult your doctor.
