gallstones come out of your pee-hole... it's a kidney problem.. they dont change the color of your sh!t.

^^^ you're wrong. actually they can. gallstones can get in the way and stop bile going into your small intestine and for some reason it makes your faeces pale but i dont know why, that is what im trying to find out and how i came across this question and who ever answered this question before me should calm down and look at some facts before gettin angry.

I am not a doctor but I do know... (and you can find this on the net).

Stones from the gallbladder can block the flow of bile in to the intestines. Bile normally mixes with the waste in the intestines, and as the waste and bile work through the bile changes colour and creates that familiar brown colour. Clay or putty coloured poop is a sign that bile hasn't got in to it, and this can be due to a blockage caused by gallstones. My doctor told me white poop (even one occasion of) can be caused by temporary blockage of bile caused by gallstones.

Kidney stones are different - they are crystals (I think caused by uric acid) and they affect the renal system causing much pain when you pee, or bladder infections.

Gall Stones can cause white poo. There's a protein called 'Bilirubin' that is the 'heme' product of hemaglobin. Bilirubin is responsible for the brown colour of poo. Heme is taken from the spleen to the liver where it is synthesised to Bilirubin which is then stored as bile. Gall Stones and other things that may block the oddi of sphincter may stop Bilirubin being transported to the duodenum, hence the poo doesn't get its brown colour :)

Recently i had middle high stomach pain that radiated to my back. It was real painful and came on and would stop pretty quickly. this went on for about 2 weeks and then an ultrasound diagnosed a large gallstone. The symptoms settled down, as i wait for another doctor's appt. , then i woke up one morning with a nagging headache, pain on right side under ribs and bad case of constipation. I never have problems with constipation. I assume that this is connected to another gallstone attack.
