Stool sample to check for yeast,etc. does it matter that i had diarrhea from,i believe excess magnesium and vit c last night?will it mess up reading?

Possibly: I think it's important to provide a fresh warm somewhat formed stool sample for analysis rather than a watery diarrheal sample. If the latter is found to be negative,it could be a false negative due to an unsatisfactory stool specimen.
