Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

No, the water did not affect your blood tests.

Tests such as ESR and CRP do not require fasting and you can drink water at any time before the sample collection.

Please note that it is easier to draw blood from your veins when you are hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Color of the stool can change.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

The color of stool normally is brown. But it is normal for your stool to change color.

Yellow stool can be caused from the food you are eating (like tomato sauce and turmeric). Also stress and anxiety may speed up the digestive process which means that food passed through your digestive tract too quickly and this is the most probable reason why you had light brown / yellowish stool.

Because you did stool test and the result was normal you do not have to be worry about serious conditions.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Best regards.

No cause for concern.

Dr yesterday day I had dhirya with yellow water and light brown stool is it because I ate fish with brown sauce that is sour could be the reason.
In went to the dr and he told me that I have a problems with digestion and prescribed pantzool and Dommby and carbon pills for gas and now I think I'm constipated
Maybe because I have eaten any food expect for sandwich
My concerns are liver and pancreatic problems
The dr told me if your poop are really dark or light and the urine is dark like olives we should be worried

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Yes, your doctor is right. There are some warning signs of pancreatic and liver diseases like:
1. darkening of the urine. The urine becomes brown in color when bilirubin levels in the blood increase.
2. lighter stools,
3. yellowing of the eyes and skin,
4. pain in the abdomen or back,
5. unintended weight loss,
6. nausea, vomiting,

Because you did stool test which was normal and you do not have any of these symptoms you do not have to be worry. Your problems may be due to stress or anxiety. Stress can cause stomachaches, diarrhea, and digestive problems.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards.
