Answers:
Yellow Stools
Yellow stools can indicate that food passed through the digestive tract relatively quickly.
Yellow stools are often found in people with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, sore throat, chronic cough, and wheezing. Symptoms are usually worse when lying down or bending. Foods that can worsen GERD symptoms include peppermint, fatty foods, alcohol, coffee, and chocolate.
Yellow stools can also be caused by insuffient bile output. Bile salts from the liver gives stools their brownish color. When bile output is diminished, it often first appears as yellow stools. If there is a greater reduction in bile output, stools lose almost all of their color, becoming pale or grey.
If the onset is sudden, yellow stools can also be a sign of a bacterial infection in the intestines.
Address any change or abnormality in bowel movement with your physician immediately, as it can be a sign of a serious disorder.
