Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I handled my feces just now in the toilet and when i examined my hands, the mess on my hands was yellowish-orange. I've taken some lipoic acid and a supplement that turns my urine yellow too, could that be the cause? Or do I have blood mixing well in my stool?
Let me inform you that the symptoms are the matter of concern else the color and consistency of fecal material varies according to what is being eaten and drank and it is nothing to worry and if it is at all creating some doubt then you have to get done the laboratory examination of fecal material.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
