Stool starts out green and picks up the brown color as it travels down the GI tract. If you are having diarrhea, the stool may simply be traveling too fast to give off the green/yellow colors and to pick up the brown. Additionally, yellow stool can be caused by high amounts of bile in the bowel. This can be due to gallbladder disease or stones, liver disease such as hepatitis. Pancreatic conditions such as pancreatits can cause the yellow color. Tumors and cancers of the gall bladder, liver, or pancreas are other causes. Also large amounts of light colored foods such as rice can cause the pale stool. You should see the doctor to determine if there are any of the above present and to give a sample of stool if you are having diarrhea to be sure there is no infection in the GI tract.

your poo contains a yellow pigment from bile.so there are possibilites, first, maybe blood cell breakdown is higher than user thus showing red cell pigments or a liver disease is a possiblity. it depends on if u have symptoms at all, but i strongly believe u need to see someone like internal medicine specialist. alcohol is one of the leading cause of liver disease. am not sure, just a Md student. sorry doe

It's from drinking beer. Mist people get it after having a lot of anything to drink, but beer is the worst.

I dont know about yellow, but drinking grape flavored gatorade, or powerade, any of the dark blue drinks will make your poop green! so maybe something you like that has a lot of food coloring in it? maybe a lot of energy drinks?

try and cut down on your salt intake for a week and see if it has any effect. drink lots of water too because you will be losing a lot of fluid with diahorrea. (thats how you spell it!!!!)
