Light poop and lab results

[Jacob Bula]

Just had my blood taken yesterday for annual physical. Noticed this morning my poop was a light color, basically the color of clay kava. Will see soon if kava can cause this color or if its signs of liver shenanigans. Will post my labs when I get them.

I’ve never had the problem you describe. Hope everything turns out to be good with your health
