Is the white stool related to dysentery?

Patient's question:

Nausea and vomiting all night three times, with watery white stool, how is it related to dysentery? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Fully recovered after taking medicine. What kind of help is needed: Stool is white, how is it necessary to check in the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, white feces are uncommon but indicate a serious disease signal, suggesting there may be a biliary obstruction where bile cannot be metabolized into the intestine. Whether caused by stones, inflammation, or other reasons, it is crucial to identify the cause and seek treatment as soon as possible, otherwise, it may lead to many troublesome conditions. You can start with an ultrasound examination. Note that fasting is required before the test.
