Pale or clay-colored stools with a putty-like consistency that result from a blockage in the normal flow of bile into the duodenum. They contain an unusually high amount of undigested fat and are often linked to jaundice, as well as the presence of bile in the urine. Stools of a similar color can also occur in pancreatic disorders when they contain excess fat, but there is no obstruction in the bile flow.
