What Causes Passing Bright Yellow Stool While Suffering From Acid Reflux?

Hi, I've had bright yellow stool off and on for about 3 months now. I went to see my Doctor and had blood work done for liver and other things. Everything came back normal. I don't have any other symptoms except for acid reflux. Just wondering if you have any idea what this could be?

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you are passing bright yellow stool while suffering from acid reflux . Well there can be many reasons for yellow stool like :-
- bilirubin and fat ( doctor has lready rule out )
- protein
- undigested food
- mineral salts
- mucous from the digestive system
- pancreatic Causes
- emotional stress

But in your case it seems to me that the reasons responsible for yellow stool is acid reflux . I would suggest you to avoid eating spicy and heavy meal specially at night , eat at least one hour before going to bed , take light walk after every meal and take antacid (gelusil ) after every meal . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , ultrasound for pancreas and X-ray of upper digestive track along with other tests . Doctor may prescribe drugs like omeprazole and ranitidine . Sometimes doctor may recommend surgery for correction of defect .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
