Since Monday my boyfriends feces is kind of a yellowish, cream color. It has never been like this before. But he has changed alot of his eating habits. On Sunday he started eating a lot of cheese, mayo, and switched his soda that he drinks. I asked him if he felt sick, nausea, cramps, and symptoms and he feels just fine.
Could this be why or is there something else going on.

i cannot believe the crap on here about health!!!! please god someone zap all these people talking old wives rubbish!!!
1. your boyfriend should cut out eating crap right away anyway, he MUST as we all MUST eat lots of fibre, not eating fibre is like waiting for a ticking time bomb, you end up with diverticulitus, fistulas, lots of things. Basically the colour of poo comes down to the break down of blood, and a substance called stercobillin, a property of bilirubin, so there could be an issue with breakdown of red blood cells, but i very very much doubt that, i favour that he is eating to much dairy, and needs to eat a more balanced diet.
2. the most serious 'poo' type complaint is diarohea or otherwise very soft to liquid stools, black stools, blood or pus (meleana), any of those requires a visit to the docs asap
So i would say that your BF needs to get a grip right away, because what is prob nothing now, will turn into something very very serious in his old age.... oh and dont believe half the rubbish on here, oh, and the guy who said why are you looking at your poo? start looking my friend, as failing to notice blood in the poo, can lead to irreversible bowel cancer.... THE SECOND BIGGEST KILLER CANCER IN THE WESTERN WORLD!!!!

What goes in, comes out. Look at the coloration of what he has eaten, there is the answer.
This is an example of why we need to eat a well balanced diet. Meat, veggies, fruits, carbohydrates. All foods provide specific vitamins and minerals that we need to function in a healthy manner.

Now if it is actually yellowish what he is seeing is probably his bile from his gallbladder passing through. It is is actually pale/clay colored it could be because the gallbladder is stopped up by a stone or something. Is he experiencing any pain at all on the right side? If so, he needs to get in to see his doc. Just monitor - it's probably not a big deal.

This sounds like he's cranking out a lot of digested bile.
The yellow is alright as long as it doesn't bother him. He might feel some discomfort (in his terms "a mild ashhole burn") when relieving himself.
A word of caution, changing a diet suddenly like this can lead to some majoe problems in the future. He maybe overworking his liver and when he slows down his gallbladder may fill up with excess bile and may develop gallstones.
Eat, Sleep, and be Merry..... on the toilet.

His change in diet. Suggest he eat a balanced diet of fruit and veggies. Limit his red meat intake and eat more fish. He should actually see his doctor for blood work before changing
his diet to be sure he is getting the right vitamins etc. that he personally needs.
