Symptom #8: Lighter Colored Stools
A healthy stool is usually a dark brown color, although this can change when you eat certain foods. The color comes mostly from bilirubin that is found in the bile that helps us to break down the food that we eat. If your stools are an unusual color, it could mean that all is not well with you.
Patients that have a gallbladder infection can find that their stools are a lighter color than usual. This is because the bile, and the bilirubin, is not making its way into the digestive system in the volumes it usually would. In some cases, your stools can be completely white.
