No: I'll bet you that the yellow portion was the metamucil. Unless you mix the stuff extremely well with water, iti tends to travel through as a bolus.

No: The stool colorizer is the dark green bile added during digestion.That colorizer is subjected to color changes as gut germs act on the contents.A span of change from dark green to yellows to light then darker browns represent how much the material has affected by the gut germs. This reflects both how long the material takes to move through & the difference in the germ action on specific material
