problems with stool for last 2 days.

hey the last 2 days i have had a greyish colored stool, and ive searched what the reasons might be and i keep seeing stuff about problems with the liver or other internal organs. I had drank kava for like a year and a half almost straight and stopped for like 4 or 5 months as i took benzos instead then. but now im off benzos, been off of benzos for 20 days going through minor withdrawal so far, and have re started drinking kava since i totally came off of them so 20 days. but ive been eating 95 percent organic food and super healthy for the last 6 months so kava is the only thing i can think of to be causing me these problems with the grey poop. so i was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing and am gonna stop drinking kava for right now. maybe ill have a test done soon if i encounter anymore problems and then ill go back to drinking it if my liver and organs are all good. it just sucks cause kava really helps me with my anxiety

Do you have any signs of jaundice? Are you taking any additional medication?
Regardless, stop the kava ASAP. If you continue to have grey stool for the next day or two then take a stool sample and go to urgent care and have them test it along with getting bloodtests.
It's best to err on the side of caution .

Yeah, if you're not normal by the next trip to the bathroom then it's time to find out why. Wishing you luck. Please keep us posted.

yeah but from what I've read grey color doesn't come because of a certain food. It's the other colors that could come from food like red, or green or yellow. So I'm a little worried but at the same time not because I'm confident even if I do have cancer I can beat it easily

Oatmeal can result in grayish or gray poop. If it isn't then you probably have a problem with your pancreas, but that's what I'm guessing. I've had the same thing happen when I was making a lot of protein shakes everyday.

Good luck. Taking care of yourself is important and it seems you are. Don't be too anxious about it, as it's probably nothing.

I get gray stools when I drink pepto for stomach upset.

well I didn't go last night on account of I have a huge job interview today and didn't wanna be up late at the ER. But my job interviews at 230 so as soon as that's over I'm heading to the er

Were the stools grey again today?
Good luck on the interview and at the ER!

This sounds more like an issue with the gallbladder (however, the liver and gallbladder are very closely related).

When the gallbladder releases bile into the intestines to aid in digestion, it ends up giving your poop that brown hue.

Do you have any pain in the right side of your abdomen??

anyways, I have had really pale stools from time to time just due to dietary reasons. I would just stay off the kava until you see a doctor and maybe as a suggestion try staying off high volumes of fats / sugars.. Drink lots of water with lemon!

yeah jaynerd you said basically what I've been reading from a million medical sites. It could be gallstones, cancer, cirrhosis things like that. The most likely culprit I think if I did have something wrong with me would be gallstones because they say those sometimes cause no pain or discomfort. I haven't really had any out of the norm stomach pain, but I have had some upset stomach feelings lately but idk if that's from nerves. Not to gross anybody out but I'm actually sitting on the toilet cause I feel the browns coming soon haha

in ER room now, just had xray of stomach. Now waiting for them to tell me anything. its been like 45 mins tired of so much waiting I've done. I had to explain to doc what kava was lol. Stomach doesn't hurt as much as earlier when I came in, but sore a bit. And might return as earlier it lessened for like 30 minutes then hurt then lessened so idk. Just wondering why such a long wait after that xray
