Bile acid malabsorption yellow stool

Posted , 2 users are following.

So I think I have bile acid malabsorption. Suddenly, about a year ago, I developed chronic diarrhea 100% of the time, and it is always yellow. I convinced my doctor to write me some colestipol and it works wonders, diarrhea gone, but still always yellow. Will I just poop yellow forever? Is something else wrong? My liver labs are fine. My doctor is just kind of a quack.

    Hi there Alberto, was it always yellow? Even your first bowel movement of the day? Was it always bright yellow?
