Check stool colour and little needle pai
Male, 23
Hello Doctor. I have IBS since 2022. Once or twice every 1–2 weeks my stool appears light brown, beige or light yellow, and I am unable to judge whether it is a normal color or unusually pale. I have attached today's stool photo. My January 2024 endoscopy showed a small sliding hiatus hernia with GERD. My January 2025 ultrasound showed mild hepatomegaly with mild fatty liver changes, with no gallstones or biliary obstruction. My July 2025 LFTs were normal. I have no jaundice, yellow eyes, dark urine or severe itching. Does the attached stool color look normal or does it suggest a liver or bile duct problem? is it anything serious please say in internet it's showing liver damage and bile blockage and how much time grade 1 fatty liver take to convert into grade 2 my age is 23 i have attached the stool photo sorry for that and usg photo and I have burning sensation from 6 months is it ibs ?? And from yesterday there is pain which is coming and going under right rib needle like pa

No jaundice, no dark urine, no itching, and LFTs normal â bile duct blockage is very unlikely. Light stool in IBS can vary with diet and how fast food moves through gut, not always a liver sign. Grade 1 fatty liver with normal LFTs is early and fully reversible with lifestyle changes â lose weight, exercise, avoid junk and alcohol. Don't rely on Google for stool color diagnosis, it causes unnecessary panic.

Consult me on Practo if you want to track fatty liver progress with proper follow-up.
