White stool

Hey everyone. This seems like a disappointing way to introduce myself but here goes. I'm 27 years old and I have had a diagnoses of UC for about 7 years. After a treatment of asacol and prednisone and a lengthy hospital stay about 7 years ago I have been primarily flare free. I maintained medication free and have eaten a low inflammation diet. This March I started to exhibit some sure signs of a flare and went to my dr. I asked that he let me try to manage before trying asacol or prednisone and he agreed. After increasing pain, mucus, blood and urgency I called my dr and he prescribed asacol 800mg three times a day. After 6 days of almost no food or water and 25-20 trips to bathroom to pass blood, mucus and whole asacol pills I went to the emergency room. This was on Wednesday of last week. The ER started me on predisone, hydrated me and told me to follow up with my dr. I have an appt with my DR next week. After two days on the prednisone the urgency and pain stopped and the mucus present considerably decreased. I have slowly started eating some foods again but have kept to to kefir and chicken and rice soup. Today I had 3 bowel movements each preceded by intense pain. Each stool was very small and clay colored, almost white. Has anyone else experienced this clay colored stool? I am calling my doctor in the morning but am trying to ease my mind within this community of people who clearly understands.
Thanks for reading this!

That's nice to read.. Google was not that reassuring.. :)

I don't think I've ever had clay coloured stool but I've seen white from enemas. I think you may be having these stool from your fasting. Keep eating and hopefully the colour will change.
