What Could Frequent Stool Movements With Yellow Specks Suggest?
I am concerned because I have to pass stools everytime I eat (within 15 minutes) and about 5-6 times a day which seems frequent. The stools are large and contain yellow/white seeds sometimes and also nearly always contain small specks of yellow/whiteish stuff. What could this be?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may be intolerant of some of the foods that you are using.
Other causes of frequent defecation would be inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption (poor absorption of food).
It would be best to see your doctor for assessment.
This would include physical examination and history. Stool analysis in a lab and imaging of the abdomen may also be needed.
I hope this helps
