Yellow stool : See below: https://www.healthline.com/health/digestive-health/yellow-stool#causes Given that your have taken PIs and Mylanta for several months I would follow up with MD this week there may be a gallbladder or celiac issues causing the symptoms. A complete work up is appropriate. F/U w/ MD
