What Can Cause Yellowish Diarrhoea?

I have had diarrhea for over two days with light upper stomach pain. My diarrhea has just changed color to yellow. Is it possible that the soup I drank could cause yellow diarrhea? I feel like I m getting acid reflux too now. I didn t have it a few hours ago.

Hi,

There can be many causes of diarrhea and abdominal pain. Usually, it occurs due to infection of intestines (viral or bacterial) or some food intolerance. It may be associated with gastritis.The yellow coloured (or pale coloured) stool usually occurs due to associated liver or gall bladder issues.If diarrhea is persistent then even need to consider thyroid, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease (related to inflammation of large intestine).

I feel that take light diet, avoid spicy and oily food, avoid excessive tea and coffee and take plenty of water. If still the symptoms persist then go for some tests like complete blood count, FBS, liver function test and stool routine examination.This will help to make a proper diagnosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
