nexium

Avatar f tn You likely have a varied diet and changes in your diet impact your stool. But yellow stool, sometimes called pale stool, can also indicate a number of health problems. 1. Liver and gallbladder disorders Cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis reduce or eliminate bile salts that help the body digest food and absorb nutrients. Gallstones or sludge in the gallbladder reduce the amount of bile that reaches your intestines. Not only may this cause pain, but it can also turn your stool yellow. 2.

Avatar m tn No vomiting / high temps / blood in stool. I do have yellow stools which I assume are caused by all the tums and nexium I am taking. I have GI appointment at the end of the month. Is it possible to have a stomach ulcer for 6 months?
Avatar f tn Yep, put that in the medhelp search bar and you will get lots of posts. Nexium can turn poop yellow. Is it helping otherwise? How are you doing in general?
Avatar f tn I have noticed that I have oily stools. When I take Nexium 40mg per day it relieves the pain from excess acid. I have struggled since Oct with extreme pains under my right breast -onto the actual ribs etc and was diagnosed with Costo ?? Nothing helped ! Nexium took 95% of symptoms away though - coincidence you think?

Avatar n tn Stool is yellow when travels throught the intestine fast. Originally, bilirubin that is excreted from the gallbladder into duodenum, is green. When bilirubin within the stool travels through intestine, bacteria change its color first to yellow and then to brown. When stool is traveling fast because of intestinal irritation from any reason, bacteria don't have time to change the color of bilirubin completely, so it remains yellow.
Avatar m tn Just wondering, this morning i had some brown/yellow stool, more yellow, consistancy of toothpaste. I do have acid reflux, i take losec for it. I re-started taking losec yesterday, however lastnight i did have chinese food and took a b100. Would that be what caused the yellow stool.

Avatar f tn When bile output is diminished, it often first appears as yellow stool. If there is a greater reduction in bile output, stool lose almost all of its color, becoming pale or grey. If the onset is sudden, yellow stool can also be a sign of a bacterial infection in the intestines.
Avatar m tn I visited another doctor today who recommends that I do a stool test (faeces) to check if there is a parasite in my stool that is triggering off this thing. But Sugoya it is easier said than done when it comes on to not stressing over something that has changed your life significantly. I am currently doing a lot of research on this disease and will share it with you all each time.
Avatar m tn Hello, So I encountered Hep C and posted positive for the antibodies. However, my pcr test came back negative. My doctor told me my immune system cleared the virus on it's own. She said come back in months to check my liver. So a few days after my results, I started a cleanse for a week ( pill format...senna,cascara sagrada, etc ). I noticed my stool turned a lighter brown....almost yellow. It freaked me out so I stop. I went in to my doc...she told me that was normal with the cleansing.
Avatar m tn Developed alternating yellow stool and yellow diarrhea 2 weeks ago. Have submitted stool to testing lab but it takes 48 hours to culture, and then get results. Now I have dark yellow stool, with what looks like red lines in it, almost like worms. Does anyone have any ideas. Also a dull pain in my lower left abdomin area. Have been to the dr, just having to sit thru the weekend without getting the results is stressful. Please help.
Avatar m tn I some times see undigested food in my more solid stool but like I said my solid stool is brown and there is no yellow in it at all, until it is dirriea and even then it is just a fluid that comes with my brown soft stool.
560753 tn?1216052052 After that he prescribed me with Nexium, Prilosec and that was it. I was ok for a month or so and then I developed constipation. So I was switching from diarrea to constipation on and off. The burping continue and it seems to happend before I get my period. Is 5:41 am and I got up because of gas in my stomach and diarrea. I haven't being able to have a deasent night of sleep for the past 4 days. That happens every month. And I just don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn My 20-year-old son has had Gerd his whole life. He stopped his Nexium at 18 years old and has been OK. About four months ago he began having daily nausea. He has lost 10 to 15 pounds and has stabbing pain in his stomach. Vomits pretty much daily. Throughout the day it gets somewhat better. But chronic pain in his abdomen and extreme intermittent nausea. Have had several tests. Positive h pylori in blood. Treated one week quadruple therapy. Only to find stool test negative.
Avatar f tn //www.healthline.com/health/digestive-health/yellow-stool#causes. One thing on the list is actually stress. It can affect the absorption of nutrients leading to the yellow stool color. Other things on the list that may be examined for you are issues with your pancreas and gallbladder. Your liver as well. There is something also called Gilbert Syndrome that is related to the liver. So, please continue to look for answers.

Avatar f tn Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.
Avatar n tn Yellow stool usually means that food is passing through the digestive tract relatively quickly. Do you normally have IBS with diarrhea or with constipation or alternating? What dietary changes/medications have you tried for your IBS?
