Pale poop

I had an abdominal scan today because since having my gallbladder removed (09/23) I’ve suffered from pain under my ribs, diarrhoea on/off and generally feeling unwell.
The scan was all except it showed fatty liver.

I went to the toilet a couple of hours after arriving home and my poo was very pale. Could the scan this morning have caused this? The radiologist spent a lot of time pressing around my liver so wondered if she could have obstructed the bile flow somehow.

I will contact my GP if it continues. Part of me thinks it’s a little blip after the scan the other part of me is concerned it’s a serious liver condition even though I’m not jaundiced.

I don’t know the answer to your question sorry, but has anyone mentioned bile acid malabsorption as a possible cause for your issues. It’s a known problem for a small number of people post cholecystectomy.
I hope you find some answers soon.
