JUST THE FACTS
My Yellow Stool
A little history about me, I have 12 years of alcohol abuse "binge drinking" and have sobered up for a while now, I am 29, I have received help for my condition, but i have some physical symptoms that freak me out, As of the past two weeks I have had frequent, sometimes loose, sometimes bulky, yellow stools. The past couple of days they have been "trying to get darker". I have had only one normal bowel movement in the last 2 months. Today they are kind of an olive yellow. I have taken some tests to ascertain the cause of my affliction but they have been fruitless. I had a urine sample taken, perfect. Alkaline phosphate, perfect. ALT,AST perfect. I do pass mucus in my stool and it is also a yellow color. I do not have any abdominal discomfort or pain. You might think yellow stool would be "cool" but I have a severe anxiety disorder and this has really been freaking me out. The last couple of weeks I have lost sleep, I am hungry but fearful to eat cause I'm sick of looking at this. I'm also a hypochondriac that blows things way out of proportion, I should also mention that I had a full stool parasite and culture work done, this is perfect as well. So my question is what could be wrong and how do I get my stool back to a traditional brown?
