A few years ago DD1 (then about 18 months) had a mild stomach upset with very pale, almost white loose stools. The stools remained extremely pale in colour for a couple of weeks afterwards. I mentioned it to my GP who said not to worry - she was just temporarily unable to absorb fat. However, a friend of mine's daughter had the same symptoms (again not really ill in herself) and her GP really went to town saying it was likely to indicate liver problems / hepatitis or malabsorbtion and sent off various samples (all of which were negative).
Does anyone have any experience of this? It's just DD2 now has a mild stomach upset (fine in herself) and her stools are very pale (though not actually white this time). Just wondering if I should be at all concerned?
