hey guys today i have a topic that is probably  not very popular because no one wants to talk  

about it but we’re going to talk about pale  colored stool i mean someone needs to talk  

about it mice will be me right all right so what  is it well before i get into what is it i’m going  

to explain a little background of how you would  develop that problem okay so to understand that  

we have to kind of go through a little bit about  chemistry i’m going to keep it really really  

brief and simple there is a chain reaction in the  body that occurs when your blood cells break down  

so if your red blood cells are getting older or  they’re damaged your body is going to recycle them  

so the hemoglobin which carries the  oxygen which is the protein part  

splits off so the iron goes this way which is red  and the heme goes another pathway to the liver  

and so the hemoglobin turns in the heme then  it turns into something called biliverdin okay  

biliverdin which is a green colored it’s a green  pigment it’s what makes your bile green because  

the bile helps excrete it from the liver into  the small intestine where it can be eliminated  

so we have heme then we have  billy burden which is green  

and then we have a substance called bilirubin  and that is yellow kind of orangish yellow  

and that is what makes your urine yellow and  it’s also something that if backed up into the  

liver into the skin it’ll turn your skin yellow or  your eyes yellow as jaundice so i’ll come back to  

that in a second so in the small intestine some of  that bilirubin which is yellow gets absorbed into  

the intestine into your blood turns into urine  that’s why it’s yellow and then you also have  

bacteria that act on bilirubin they help oxidize  it and they turn it brown so your stool normally  

should be brown from the bacterial oxidation of  bilirubin so that’s a little foundation of what  

you need to know now what happens and this is a  very common problem is if the hemoglobin breakdown  

chain reaction doesn’t occur from the liver to  the small intestine and it gets kind of stuck  

or blocked because someone has a gallstone or  some sludge through these little ducts they’re  

called bile ducts and the medical name for that is  coleostasis where the bile is not moving properly  

let’s say for example you get a blood test  and you have high levels of bilirubin right  

but you also have dark colored urine you have  pale colored stool could be like gray colored  

what’s happening is we have a blockage so we’re  getting darker urine and we’re getting absence  

of this pigment in the stool and that’s  why it’s a light kind of a chalky color  

so we don’t get this pigment ending up in the  stool so it’s light colored or clay colored  

that usually means you have some blockage in  the bile ducts or it could mean your liver is  

not producing bile because it’s damaged so one  good symptom to tell you if you have a blockage  

between the liver and the small intestine and  primarily the bile ducts is light-colored stool  

dark urine um a little bit of jaundice could be  one of the symptoms as well as itchiness which is  

the bile being backed up into the skin and bile  is very very very beneficial to your body but  

not if it’s in the wrong place so we  never want bile to be kind of stuck in  

the liver because it’s a detergent and we’ll  start irritating and creating inflammation  

now the simple solution to all this is  simply to take purify bile salts because  

because if it’s blocked we’re having a more  of a super concentrated cholesterol situation  

cholesterol crystals and it’s the bile that helps  to break that up so taking more bile and empty  

stomach maybe twice a day will help to open up  the flows from the liver to the small intestine  

and restore the the problem but there’s a  deeper problem and that usually has to do  

with the person’s diet so if you’re new to my  channel and you’re not familiar with what to eat  

i put a link down below check it out because  you need to be on something called healthy keto  

and intermittent fasting to really get rid of the  deeper root cause that’s behind this whole thing  

in the first place all right thanks for watching  before you go if you have a question about a  

product or you’re new to keto and you want to  know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
