Tan colored stools suggest you may have difficulty digesting your fats, which causes congestion in the liver and gall bladder. IBS and yellow stools sometimes occur. Gray/white ashy colored or clay like stools can indicate pancreas or liver problems. Also, possibly gallstones pancreatitis or cirrhosis of the liver.
Stools - pale or clay-colored. Stools that are pale, clay, or putty-colored may be due to problems in the biliary system (the drainage system of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas). The liver releases bile salts into the stool, giving it a normal brown color. You may have clay-colored stools if you have a liver infection that reduces bile production, or if the flow of bile out of the liver is blocked. Yellow skin (jaundice) often occurs with clay-colored stools, due to the buildup of bile chemicals in the body.
