Re My 83 yr old mother, recently has excessive bile in her poop. Hard to tell if there is ab pain as she has advanced AR, deformed joints,etc and is always in some pain. Her appetite not consistent. One day eats ok next no appetite at all. Have DNR on file, pain management is primary goal. Any advice or information regarding the excessive bile appreciated

HI...

WELCOME TO HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

AS PER YOUR COMPLAIN YOU HAVE PROBLEM OF BILE IN STOOL THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF LIVER OR GALLBLADDER PROBLEM.

ANY INTESTINAL INFECTION ALSO CAUSE YELLOW STOOL .
MORE FAT IN STOOL ALSO LEAD TO YELLOW STOOL PROBLEM.
STOOL EXAMINATION TEST HELPFUL TO DIAGNOSE ANY INFECTION PRESENT OR NOT.
ULTRASONOGRAPHY CAN DONE FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS.
CONSULT A GASTROENTROLOGIST FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS.

I HOPE MY GUIDANCE HELPFUL TO YOU.
TAKE CARE.
THANK YOU.
