A member asked:
I'm on my period. i'd a bowel movement and my stool was so huge i barely flushed it(not painful).my stools had yellow or orangish dots, what could this mean? do i have infection? last time i had yellow dots, i had eaten corn before, but not now.

Stool color: None of this sounds abnormal and nothing suggests a health problem of any kind. The color and consistency of feces depends mostly on diet. From a health standpoint, there is no reason to closely examine stool appearance. From what you describe, I see no reason for worry or concern.
