A member asked:

What could cause my stomach cramps and yellow stool?

Dr. Joseph Bouvier answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Stomach virus: Cramps and yellow stool could be due to a viral gastroenteritis where the stool is moving through your intestines quickly causing cramping and the yellow color because not enough transit time was available for turning the stool to brown.
