2. What Causes Yellow Diarrhea?

Yellow diarrhea can be caused by specific underlying conditions and is not just a description of the stool that has been excreted. The underlying problem may be an acute affliction, such as a bacterial infection or virus, or something that is long-term, such as liver or gallbladder disease.

When someone is experiencing an acute case of yellow diarrhea it usually goes away within a few days. Any time yellow stool lasts longer than 48 hours it could potentially be caused by something that leads to long-term issues. Very pale stool is also concerning.
