Good morning,

Dealing w a bit of a panic attack here! Had pizza, steak and sausage basically all weekend and my stomach has been a bit off and randomly this morning my stool was yellow which is freaking my out as it’s a sign of liver issuse. In my 20s was a heavy drinker as most are but have slowed down greatly over the last few years. Haven’t had more than 10 drinks in a week since 29 am now 33. I did have a few last week Wednesday primarily could this be the reason or is it all in my head?

J.,

Howdy. I've been there. That's a pretty greasy weekend! Not to be too graphic, but I've often seen yellow when I am cleaning myself up after going. I don't pay it too much mind. In my opinion, black and bright red are probably the worst culprits. Try to "eat clean" for a few days and see if it clears you up. An occasional change in color isn't really to be considered a huge concern. I mentioned black being a culprit. If memory serves, simply taking Pepto Bismol can cause a change in color. A lot of it does have to do with diet. Another example is an abdominal CT scan. You drink ALL this awful barium, so stool might be whitish or whiter in color for a little bit. I'd like to think a few drinks wouldn't hurt you to that degree. While it's easy for me to say, I'd give it a few days. If it continues, yeah, check with your doc. I've been constipated a few days and don't think too much about it unless I'm actually sittin' on the can!

I'm a South Park fan and loved their parody of Saddam Hussein. He'd say, "Hey! Relax, guy!" Silly, but maybe you'll get a chuckle.

Best,
John

I have IBS-D plus some other gut things and this happens to me quite often. I'm so used to it that I don't think anything about it anymore. If I have pain that's not normal then I go to the Dr. But, you have to do what makes you feel better and if that's going to the Dr. I'd go. A simple blood test can show if your liver isn't acting right.

JG,

Most ikely your system got overloaded on rich/fatty foods...and the result was passing a surplus of bile since your gallbladder was workung O.T. ;)

Howvever we are not medical professionals...so as always, if you continue to have issues...see your doctor...

...but I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon...as Smooth said...eat clean for the next few days.smile

S.C.
