A member asked:
Can taking ppis like dexilant cause one's stool to become more yellow than usual?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't assume that: Your stool shouldn't be yellow usually anyway, so the very fact that you have yellowish stool requires investigation. Yellow coloration of stool usually implies the presence of fat in the stool, which could be from malabsorption or pancreatic insufficiency, perhaps.
