A member asked:

My sons poop is bright yellow after taking suppositories y is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poop Color: The color of stool means little unless there is no color or it is black and tarry or bloody. Then these indicate liver or bleeding problems. The yellow may indicate dyes in the suppository or a reaction to foods or viruses. Not to worry Mom.
