Has anyone experienced yellow stool. I have been looking it up and it seems like something serious.

are you a new post-op? If so, it's common. I think it's due to the malabsorption (sp?). Mine went away after a few weeks.

I'd call your Dr. About it. I had odd colors too but I can't remember if it was still that way at 2 months. Better safe than sorry.

I agree with above.. if your stool is yellow (and not just once in a great while but consecutively like week plus) you will want to see your Dr. Yellow stool can mean you may be low on a certain nutrient your body is not getting, it could also be an underlying showing of something more serious such as liver issues. But no one can tell you what is going on with you but a Dr. and tests.

I had that for a while after surgery pretty consistently but I was usually so grateful for any BM at that point! My doc said it was normal. Can?t remember the explanation. I still get it once in a while. Personally, I?ve become a bit hypochondriac so I?d rather call and ask than be worried. Good luck!
