Diarrhea
Diarrhea

Q. I had white diarrhea.

A.

This phenomenon occurs due to a lack of bile mixing. Bile duct obstruction or gallbladder issues are suspected, or it could be rotavirus enteritis (in children), so you should go to the hospital immediately.

📝 Detailed Answer

대변의 갈색은 '담즙' 색깔입니다.

담즙이 나오는 길이 막히면 쌀뜨물 같은 회색/백색 변을 보게 됩니다. 어른이라면 담도암/담석증을, 아이라면 바이러스성 장염을 의심해봐야 하는 경고 신호입니다.
