Whole Colon Had Thin Layer Of Sticky Yellowish Stool. Caused Due To Eating Yellow Hot Peppers Regularly? Suggestion?

I JUST HAD A COLONOSCOPY AND THE REPORT STATED THAT THE DOCTOR FOUND THE WHOLE COLON HAD THIN LAYER OF VERY STICKY YELLOWISH STOOL. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSED POSSIBLY BY EATING YELLOW HOT PEPPERS REGULARLY? I'VE READ THAT CERTAIN MEDICINES ETC. CAN CAUSE THIS BUT, I'M WONDERING WHAT YOU FEEL MIGHT BE A POSSIBLE REASON FOR THIS?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Certain medicines causes such type of sign visible in colon i.e. large intestine .
In your case noting like this as you ate so many times yellow hot peppers .
All things usually digested in small intestine , after this residual part of food stuff passes into large intestine and colon is last part before rectum and anal canal.
This residual part is semisolid stool with mucus ( as this help in digestion ) .
The yellow portion in your colon is nothing but is a stool with mucus ( sticky ) , so need not to worry.
If some one eat large amount of iron preparation the color of stool become black color and so on.
In my opinion this is not a cause of concern .If report of colonoscopy is normal otherwise need not to worry at all.
Good luck, Dr. HET
