Light coloured poop

Hi, my 3 year old has been doing light coloured poo for around 4 days now.

A few days ago he was sick while eating his breakfast but he had downed half a bottle of juice so I put it down to being greedy.

He seems a bit quieter than usual, a bit more lethargic and off his food more than usual.

I'm calling the drs this afternoon when they open but looking for any advice or anyone that's experienced similar? I've googled and I'm now terrified :-(

I've attached a photo. Would you say it looks clay coloured or just light? Not sure how to describe it to the drs, I'm worried sick

It’s a little pale but that can happen with a tummy bug (most likely if he was sick and has been quieter and off his food more than usual) good to get it checked though. Hope he feels better soon xx
