I don't know if some of you remember. Well, this time is YELLOW. Absolutely yellow. Pale.

Some time ago I was scared because I used to see one liquid, now I know it's the color of the stool, the water 'cleans' the color and the stool are more pale.

Today I have an appoinment with the dotctor. I'm sick of this.

I also knew that I have GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease), I'm supposed to have my surgery the first days of Decemeber.

Well, I haven't exploited, my anxiety has been good.

The funny thing is that I could have made an appointment with my gastroenterologist, who is 7 hours away from this city, and I didn't call him because I'm an idiot.

Let's see what happens with the doctor. confused mad mad


And it feels good to be back. And I'm sorry for always talking about this.

W.M.,

Positive thoughts regarding your appointment! I am sure that all will be well with your check up.

I have read that all manner of colors are normal in regards to BM's...and only having a black/tarry color would be of concern.

You will surely get an all clear regarding your health.:)

Hi

How did your appointment go?

As SC mentioned black/tarry stool is the one to be concerned about as that usually signifies bleeding somewhere.

Oh, right. Thank you, S.C.
I went today to do some tests(?) and I will have the results this afternoon, and I have to do some more but next week. I'm very happy with my hemoglobin lol I always used to be very low, but this time I'm more than good :')


Thank you, Hibee. Let's hope everything is ok, but if everything is ok I don't know why this is happening. I will post when I have the results.

Mine is all over the map color-wise. Actually, being yellow (and mine can be bright) occurs most often when I'm stressed. I think anxiety speeds up digestion and the bile (which goes from yellow to brown the longer it stays inside the colon) doesn't have time to change. Also, when I drink red wine it gets dark. So I think the variations you are experiencing are likely normal, just we worriers focus on it more!
