I just had the same thing happen! I franticly called a nurse, because by book said to call if sypmtoms like that appear. She said that pale colored stool is one of the last symptoms you'd get. You'd be as yellow as a lemon before you would see pale stool caused by liver problems. I was itching all over too! Probably caused by the hot weather. I was so scared! But I'm still going to ask my doctor to check my blood platelet count, just in case. She said if you don't have a history of needind alot of medication, have had previous liver problems, and don't have Hepatits then the pale stool is probably nothing more then something I ate. But I'm Still Nervous A Little.
