About a week ago I had white stool. Woke up, nothing abnormal, felt normal, normal texture, horrifying white color. Since then I have completely stopped my use of my white cookies n cream mass gained (rebuilt mass cookies n cream) which I used generally three times a day. That in addition to casien before bed (all 22 oz shakes). In addition I was on Clear Muscle, two tablets of creatine, two multivitamins.
Since stopping my supplement use, my color returned slightly over four days. It's still on the white side.
I have seen three doctors since. All three are stumped now.
The white stool indicates a bile deficiency. I lack abdominal pain and jaundice. My ultra sound was clear, however, my liver panel came back normal except for elevated AST. Just slightly though. This would indicate slight liver damage such as that associated with alcohol damage.
Currently the theory is my supplements damaged my liver. I'm not convinced. I'm having another panel run today to see if the week off has had any effect.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any theories besides obstruction/damage?

No, my pediatrician might today. It won't tell them much. Just that I'm lacking bile.Originally Posted by Hemogoblin

I experienced some weird stuff with creatine... stopped using it and problems went away.. Started using it again a year later.. problems right back... quit again.. went away again. Some people say supplements and creatine cannot cause problems but I disagree. Just lay off them completely for now and keep up with the doctors to make sure you are cleared up.

Apparently grey stool can be an early symptom of Pancreatic cancer. Also my tests do not necessarily rule it out. More tests to follow.

Don't get worked up just yet.. Over the course of 15 years I've had multiple things happen to me (lumps, urinary issues, bowel issues, etc..) that had multiple signs pointing to bad diagnosis's... and all of them turned out to be fine.Originally Posted by danygug4

Had a cmp + amylase/lipase. All came back normal besides my amylase being low (23 ranged 28-100). My pediatrician was stumped and tried to relate it to a virus. I'm currently seeking a referral to a GI specialist. Pancreatic cancer is now the top of the list. I'm 19, but there's no other explanations. I'll seek more imaging in the upcoming month.

stool color isn't important unless its the same over the course of 1-2 weeks. You probably have a virus, I went through the exact same thing and everything was fine. Stop worrying and stop self diagnosing it will do you no good.

Haha thanks guys. I've also been looking into the potential of me being a bird. Checked with my doctor, they said the talons, wings, and white **** is not conclusive, and could also be attributed to being a gargoyle.

Any positive changes bro?
I've been experiencing the same thing for the past day. In researching this, it appears that high levels of magnesium and calcium can lead to the body producing white stool. I just stopped taking a ZMA product and Xpel by MHP to see if it corrects itself.

Eh
My stool color was the result of gnc serious mass cookies n cream. Do not buy that flavor. Anyways my liver enzymes have stabilized but still remain high. Pan cancer is unlikely and I'm back to normal training. For anyone fearing the worst with similar symptoms, have a CMB and relax.
