I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and esophogitis. i have noticed a change in my stool color. it is light, almost yellow. also have been having yellow diarrhea. i am on medications, prilosec and pepcid. is this color of stool normal?

Persistent yellow & loose stools warrant an evaluation by a gastroenterologist. Pathology in the liver-biliary tract as well as in the pancreas are possible causes. You aren't absorbing fats properly. Appropriate testing will be ordered & performed by the specialist.
