Disgusting Question - Look away now

[thetallerpaul]

Hello,

A friend of mine (cough) has noticed his stools going paler/yellowish post diagnosis. Initially was put down to extreme low carbing and since going on Insulin and returning carbs to a more manageble level it went away. It is however back again without any significant change in diet.

Is this normal for someone eating a lower carb, higher protein/fat diet?

My friend appreciates all input on his output.

Paul

I can why your friend might be concerned. I am on similar meds to your friend and I'm also low carbing and can honestly say I haven't experienced this particular problem.

This will explain it Paul.

There is a lack of bile caused by your output moving too quickly through your digestive tract.

Thanks Catherine. I'll see what I can do to slow things down and see if that helps.

I mean he will see what he can do of course as, just to reiterate, this is a post for my friend.
