White or pale-coloured stools are not normal and should not be ignored, even if they have resolved on their own in the past. White stools mean that bile â which gives stools their normal brown colour â is not reaching the gut properly. This can be due to a liver, gallbladder, or bile duct issue. In a child, this is particularly important to investigate as it can indicate biliary atresia or hepatitis if it is recurring.
