Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

You need not worry about the "yellow" stool.
Sometimes you get loose stools when you take Triple therapy for H.pylori.
If you develop any such thing, take probiotic supplements.

If the stool is formed , then you need not worry about the "yellow" color.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.Barani
