Hi,
It can be due to temporary digestion issues but may also indicate bile related concerns.

White or pale-coloured stools are not normal and should not be ignored, even if they have resolved on their own in the past. White stools mean that bile â which gives stools their normal brown colour â is not reaching the gut properly. This can be due to a liver, gallbladder, or bile duct issue. In a child, this is particularly important to investigate as it can indicate biliary atresia or hepatitis if it is recurring.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation â your daughter needs a liver function test (LFT) and abdominal ultrasound done, especially since this is a recurring issue.
