Suddenly I stopped producing (or releasing) bile about a year ago. I would occasionally have a bowel movement that was somewhat dark here and there but 99% of the time it was very pale.
I have adapted to lower water intake since following a lot of the diet recommendations on here. I never really had a drive for thirst throughout my whole life unless I really pushed myself at the gym. Recently I took a step back and realized I don’t really get more than 16oz of pure water a day, plus another 16oz of other fluids at most. I am an active young male.
I decided to really up my water intake, pure water without added electrolytes. I am pushing about 100oz of water a day most days now.
Wow. My stools are almost black. Consistently for a week and a half now without a missed day. Will continue.
