I just found this answer to the same question on another forum but thought it might help you make your way to the doctors office:

"with adults white stools are not a good sign. It can be an indication of a serious liver problem. I'd check this out"

What other colors of poop are possible?
Poop is mostly shades of brown or yellow, but other colors can arise under certain circumstances. For example, someone with a bleeding ulcer might have tarry black poop from the presence of partially digested blood. Bleeding in the intestine, from an anal fissure or split, for example, can stain the poop red. Some illnesses in babies gives them green or even blue-green poop. But another source of blue poop in children is more innocent: it can come from eating a concentrated source of blue food coloring such as ice cream. Intense red food coloring can produce bright red poop. Sometimes brightly colored foods pass through the gut almost unchanged, and the turd may be speckled with bright red fragments such as pimentos, or bright yellow kernels of corn.
One can experience white poop after consuming a barium milkshake for the purposes of getting an x-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Okay now I've never heard of that one....Go see your doctor, or at least give the doctor a call and tell them.

well i think that you should go to the doc, but i do know that one time my sister had eaten rainbow colord ice cream, and her poop was the same colors that was in the ice cream. red, purple, yellow, blue, green, ect... so it may be something that you have eaten, possibly something more serious.

Go to the doctor pronto. That is not normal at all. It could be a serious side effect of something you're taking or something you ate. Please, go to the doctor.

Nothing, just flush, wipe, and move on. Certain foods will make your poop white and thats okay.
