The color of your stool can tell a lot about your health. Pale or clay-colored stools can indicate a problem with the liver’s bile production. Bile, produced by the liver, is essential for the digestion of fats and gives stool its typical brown color.
When the liver is diseased or inflamed, bile production or flow can be hindered, leading to lighter-colored stools. This change, while subtle, can be a significant indicator of liver health.
