This is why it is necessary to make a detailed study of the organism in order to exclude, in the future, these dangerous diseases from its list of disorders and diseases, if possible.
And, it should be taken into account the fact that the bile pigment can be processed in the intestine, causing the staining of the stool in exactly the same, light, color.
This explains the infectious origin of clinical intestinal pathology.
Causes of
The physiological process of digesting food causes staining of the stool in a dark brown, brown or light brown color.
This coloration is due to the yellow coloring pigment produced in the liver.
If digestion processes are disturbed, the feces acquire a color of yellow, gray or any other light shade( depending on the food eaten).
Infectious liver disease leads to insufficient production of bile, which affects the color of the feces.
Dysfunction of digestion and subsequent evacuation of stools, reflected in their light color.
Infectious liver disease resulting in inadequate bile production:
- pancreatitis;
- cholangitis;
- viral hepatitis.
The color of the stool is affected by a decrease in the amount of sterkobilin contained in the stool.
Organic formations( stones, tumors) that interfere with normal bile secretion can cause stool clarification.
If you want to reliably find out the cause of light feces, then you need to conduct an instrumental examination of the body.
It is clear that the treatment of the disease is carried out only after finding out its main cause.
This will completely depend on the choice of necessary medications and measures.
In the event of various obstacles on the way of bile, a surgical operation may be required.
It is important not to forget that if the cause of the disease is hidden in the lesion of the pancreas or liver, an immediate hospitalization in a special, specialized department, where all the necessary treatment is provided, may be required.
Remember the therapeutic courses aimed at normalizing the intestinal microflora.
Light feces in an adult
Some medical experts say that light feces can be obtained by eating butter, sour cream and 
of some other fatty foods.
A chair that has arisen for these reasons usually has an unpleasant, pungent smell and a liquid consistency.
Therefore, these signs of the disease indicate the need for urgent medical attention for a detailed examination of the body.
The light color of stool in an adult appears due to the use of medications.
For example, it can be:
- preparations for gout;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- antibiotics.
If the light color of the stool was seen for the first time, then do not panic.
You can simply observe the changes in consistency and the color of the excrement within a few days.
Color of feces in pregnant women
The color of stool in a pregnant woman is not an idle trifle, not worth any attention.
Depending on the food eaten and the state of the body, the color and density of bowel movements can vary significantly, which tells us about a particular disorder.
The usual color of feces in pregnant women is yellow-brown.
But sometimes, with the slightest malfunction in the body, the color of the stool begins to change.
Black feces with pregnancy
Black stools indicate the intake of preparations with iron content( usually, multivitamins).
Another reason for the appearance of black stool in a pregnant woman is taking medications that directly affect the color of the stool( for example, activated charcoal).
In addition, there are some foods-food colors, such as:
- black currant;
- blueberry;
- beef liver;
- blood sausage and so on.
However, sometimes the black color of the stool can signal the onset of gastric hemopoiesis.
In this case, you should immediately contact your treating gynecologist.
Green color of feces during pregnancy
Color of feces in green often indicates a large amount of eaten fresh vegetables and fruits.
Gray feces during pregnancy
Gray feces can signal the eating of any food( especially fresh fruit).
In such cases, restoration of the usual color of feces can be achieved by simply reducing the number of eaten, suspicious products.
Light feces in pregnant women
The light color of the stool can occur as a result of any physiological disorder, as the natural color of the stool is yellow-brown.
It is clear that the light color of stool in pregnant women is a consequence of certain pathological processes in the intestine( for example, diarrhea).
The cause of clarification of fecal masses may serve as an intestinal infection( eg, dysentery, typhus).
White stool in pregnant women
Sometimes( very rarely) pregnant women have liquid white stools.
Typically, this signals a food allergy to eaten food.
Light feces in a child
There are cases when a light color of feces is observed in a child. 
By itself, the light color of the feces in the child is not a cause for concern.
Try to immediately pay attention to the color of the child's urine.
If it has not changed, remember everything that your child ate before.
Possible intake of calcium in the body( excessive consumption of carbohydrates) can affect the color of the stool.
Taking medication, teething, speaks of a change in the color of the stool.
Even clarification of feces to almost white color, does not cause the parents serious concerns: often everything settles on its own.
However, the light color of feces in a child may be a consequence of any serious illness:
- of liver, intestine or gallbladder disease;
- disorders of the functioning of the pancreas.
The best act, in this case, will be an obligatory visit to a specialist doctor.
Take care of yourself.
Stay healthy!
