6. When Should You Call the Doctor?
Yellow stool that lasts for only a day or two is not normally concerning. A stomach virus or extreme stress can lead to a temporary difference in the color and consistency of the stool. If yellow, loose stools persist for more than 48 hours or if the stool is extremely pale, it is a good idea to contact a physician.
Additionally, if you are experiencing other concerning symptoms with yellow diarrhea, a full diagnosis should be pursued. Nausea, pain, cramping, dehydration, weight loss, foul smell, excessive gas, joint and muscle pain, exhaustion and rashes are all symptoms that are concerning if they accompany yellow diarrhea.
