Bile-colored 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.

Check the following: I agree with dr. Cattano. Yellow stool can be the result of overly rapid transit of stool through the colon, insufficient bile salts or infection. Any continuing change in bowel habitus warrants medical evaluation.

Yellow stool: Yellow stool is not normal, especially if it's been this way for a while. The yellow color could signify fat in the stool ("steatorrhea") which could be related to malabsorption of fat from the diet, or a medical issue that is preventing such.
