Hello. : Hello. Yes you need to see the doctor. Yellow stool, especially if light in color can be caused by problems with the liver or gallbladder. Gastroesophageal reflex, pancreatitis, celiac disease and malaborption can also be causes. Steatorrhea is a condition that may produce yellow mucus like stools due the high level of fat in the stool. Your gastrointestinal tract is not working properly. It would be prudent not to put off the evaluation. Please get seen.
