Question 1

is brown yellow stool normal?

Accepted Answer

: The color of poo is derived from the waste pigment that end up in the bile, which is added to the intestines from the liver. It starts out an intense green &amp; over time may change thru yellow to brown. The germs of the intestine convert the pigment as it transits the digestive tract. The less germ action the less color change. These color variations are normal.

Question 2

what could cause runny yellow stool?

Accepted Answer

Yellow stool: The amount, color, frequency of stool varies with foods, speed of emptying of the GI tract, medications & supplements ingested, gut flora (unique for each individual), additives (like blood), subtractions (like absent bile), infection, inflammation, & other factors. If stool pattern has changed, is unusual for you, & the change persists, or is accompanied by other symptoms, see your doctor.

Question 3

what dose having bright yellow/ mustered coloured stools sergest or signify?

Accepted Answer

"What goes in must..: Since the color you described does not "ring a bell" as signifying any particular disease entity it is likely that your diet may contain clues about the color of your feces. For example certain food coloring dyes will persist through the journey from your mouth to your bowel movements (EG: Orange dyes) 
Hope this helps!
