Could anxiety cause yellow poop?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Anxiety can cause a patient to have looser stools or diarrheal type stools. The color of the stool would be determined by what the patient had eaten prior.

Anxiety: Can effect the bowels and cause looser stools but does not effect color. Foods can affect color.
