What can cause a white bowel movement?

What have you eaten or drank in the last 24 hours? It most likely has something to do with that.

No, really.

I'm not being sarcastic.

Pale (white) or clay colored stools can be caused by the following:
1. lack of bile salt (bile salt gives stool its brownish color)
2. antacids containing aluminum hydroxide
3. barium from a recent barium enema test
4. hepatitis

If a change in stool color cannot be attributed to a dietary reason, or is accompanied by any other symptoms (such as diarrhea, constipation, weakness, or dizziness), a doctor should be consulted.
