A member asked:
My stool is brown, but when i wipe it has a bright yellowish color. i've also been experiencing reduced bowel movements with very minimal stool. what does this mean?

This seems okay, the color seems normal, and may change depending on the food you eat. You want to have stool consistency of a banana, so if it's very little and hard, you may have constipation in which adequate water intake, high fiber diet, and exercise can help. If you have persistent abdominal pain/nausea, or if your stool color is persistently pale, you should see a doctor.
