No, that is not the presentation of IBS. Yellow stool is not grossly abnormal and you can stop probiotic and observe for the symptoms in the next couple days.

It is certainly normal to occasionally have stool that is yellow in color. It is not of any concern. It may be a good idea to increase the amount of fiber in your diet. If you notice that you have persistent changes in your stool, you should contact your doctor. Good luck.
