What Causes Yellow Coloured Stool?

Question: What would be the cause of having green to yellow feces. I really don't think it has anything to do with foods being eaten.
Brief Answer:
Bile
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
The most common reason for the stool to turn yellow is colouring agent used in the food. The second most common reason is bile. Most often it is normal, however if it is associated with pain abdomen and loss of appetite I strongly suggest you to get a liver function test and ultra sound abdomen done.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
