Hello! I'm a bit concerned about this change in my stool color which is now a strange bright orange color. I am currently taking Valtrex, Cefdinir and Zithromax twice daily, Omnezaprole for acid reflux, Multivitamin, Magnesium as well as Buhner's herbs (Cat's Claw and Japanese Knotweed). It is also that time of month for me (menses) which coincided with when the stool color change occurred. Any insight as to why my stool is this color now? And, should I be worried and contact my LLMD?

I thought at first you were going to list Rifampin as one of your meds (it can turn the bm's orange color - although not 'bright')

Have you looked up Omnezaprole - does that have an effect on the color?

I just did but it says that Omnezaprole can cause your stool to be light/pale colored like clay...sigh. I'm already feeling really ill today. Maybe it has something to do with my menses.

Orange colored stools can be caused by liver/gall bladder issues, as described on this page (I've had this issue): www.belmarrahealth.com/what-causes-orange-poop/

and this page shows that Cefdinir can change the stool to a reddish color, which can look kind of orange:

I would encourage you to take a hard look at your liver detoxing/protection routines and make sure you are doing enough there, talk to your LLMD about the possibility of the cefdinir causing it.
