My 16 month old poo is pale

My sons poop has been pale for the past 3/4 months . I have honestly thought nothing of it and put it down to medication ( Azythromycin) he's been on continuously for past year ( due to undiagnosed respiratory issues and autoimmune) he's been in hospital alot and had a little 11 short stays in that time . I'm trying to tell myself surely they would have found something if there was a worrying cause due to him having various blood tests and them changing him also .

It's a pale almost white chalky colour , he is fine in himself and has not once had a tummy bug or anything
It wasn't until my brother (currently works in Peadiatric a&e ) changed his nappy and rang me absolutely worrying demading i get an appointment or go to a&e that it's now become a worry as I thought it was fine

Has anyone's child had this and been fine ?

My kids used to get this with antibiotics, but you need to get him checked it out, it can be a sign of liver issues

It's a sign of liver issues so he definitely needs a check
