Bright red streaks may indicate bleeding low in the GI tract, while tarry black or maroon stools can be caused by bleeding in the stomach or small intestines. Clay-colored or pale yellow stools can be caused by problems with the liver, gallbladder or pancreas.
Pale stool may also be shiny or greasy, float, and foul-smelling, due to undigested fat in the stool. You should see your doctor if you regularly have pale stools. Certain medications such as bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-BismolÂ®, KaopectateÂ®) or anti-diarrheal drugs may also result in a light-colored stool.
