Understanding Clay-Colored Stools & Body Swelling: A Medical Analysis

Question
Here is a sample problem I have and was wondering if you could answer it...

You notice a swelling all over your body; also your stools are a little looser and clay-colored.  When you go to teh doctor, they test your blood to see if any of the hematrocrits or components of the plasma are out of line... What will they probably find> What is probably not working correctly and how is that causing the symptoms you are experiencing?

Also, for another sample scenario...
YOu find that you are losing the dexterity in your hand and that you seem to be stumbling more.  The doctor does an MRI of your brain and finds it normal.  She then takes a sample and sees that your white blood counts are also normal.  However, the blood workup came up with low calcium levels in the blood. What is possibly wrong and what actions may help?


Thanks! Please respond as soon as possible!!!

Answer
first one, possible gall bladder or pancreas not getting enzymes into the intestine to digest good.  Check liver functions and pancreas tests like amylase, Lipase, then possibly an ultrasound

stumble and dexterity, sounds like a mild stroke, which may not show up on mri or cat scan for sev days.  Low calcium?  possible parathyroid hormone problems.
