Best Answer

The brown colour of stools is mainly due to bile, produced in the liver.

White stools indicate that bile is not getting into the intestine due to blockage of the bile duct, most commonly due to gallstones. If it happens after gallbladder surgery, it may indicate damage to the bile duct.
