Hello!
I read your question carefully and understand your concern.
I think that your troubles are related to a gastritis or indigestion. A viral infection could also cause these symptoms (especially the bright yellow stool).
The fact that your situation improved after taking bismol is an argument in favor of gastritis.
I recommend you to consult with the gastroenterologist and perform a routine blood test, a stool analysis and a fibrogastroscopy.
Hope to have been of help!
Greeting! Dr. Iliri
