A member asked:

I was taking medication for gerd that, i think, caused diarrhea. since stopping the medication, my diarrhea seems to have stopped. however, one thing that is strange is that my stool is a normal brown, when i wipe, the t/p is a bit yellow. concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is of no concern at this time because when one has or has recently had diarrhea, bile pigments are irregularly digested and portions of yellowish stools are the results. Constant passage of yellow stools is a different matter and would call for investigation of absorption difficulties, biliary tract or liver pathology.
