Probably not as long as it's not associated with pain or difficulty passing a BM. If it persists or get worse you may want to consider talking it over with your doctor.

Yes. It means there is a lot of fat in the stool. This is not good. See the doctor pronto.

as already mentioned, light or clay colored stools can indicate hepatitis, especially if coupled with anorexia and lethargy. bile is responsible for the color of stool. bile is stored in the gallbladder, which is connected to the liver .all these are responsible for digestion,among other things. yes, get it checked.
