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.
Prolonged yellow stool may also be caused by conditions such as giardiasis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Yellow stool may also indicate problems with the gallbladder and liver. Bile salts from the liver give stool its brownish color and when bile output is diminished, it may first appear as yellow stool.
