Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Round Dark Yellow Colored Objects In Stools?
I recently got an all clear result on stool samples by my doctor. However, that did not clear up what the round dark yellow objects (size and shape of a chick pea) that I ve been passing in my stools are. I started noticing them in loose stools within the past couple of months. Don t know how long they ve been there. Usually 1 per bowel movement. I do not consume anything that resembles these objects. The inside holds a powder-like substance. I am experiencing some nausea here and there.
It may be undigested food particles or constipation in which stools forms like a hard nodule or it may be unobsorbed food coated with bile pigments. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done stool examination for lipid levels and ph. Please review with reports or consult your physician near by.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
