Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It's reassuring that you're not having abdominal pain. However, the presence of white stool might point to potential liver, bile, or pancreas-related conditions, such as pancreatitis, which can result in difficult-to-flush stools. Your heightened thirst could be linked to complications of pancreatitis or dehydration.

Thanks
