A member asked:

I took 2 pills of dulcolax, my stools came out 6 hours later soft and yellow followed by a diarrhea on the next bowel movement along with intense cramping. is this related to the medication or something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I think the dulcolax could have provoked the abdominal cramps& diarrhea, but the soft stool wasn't typical of prolonged constipation. If yellow stools persist, consultation with a gastroenterologist is recommended for appropriate testing. Possible causes are liver& biliary tract pathology,pancreatic disorders, gluten sensitivity, & gall bladder problems. Hopefully your BMs& stools will normalize.
