Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
According to your complain you have yellow diarrhea. That may be because of again flu infection.
Stool examination test is helpful for diagnosis.
Stool become yellow when more amount of fat present in stool.
Loss of bile salt cause yellow stool.
Liver or gallbladder disease may cause yellow stool.
Intestine infection may cause this type of problems.
Do stool examination test.
Colonoscopy is helpful for further diagnosis.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Thanks.
