Hello everyone,
It has been a while since posting on the forum. I have been doing much better! Sessions with a psychiatrist has made my health anxiety at an all time low. Recently though, it has come back up...
It started one week ago when I noticed that I had a yellow stool. Not over concerning, I have had it before and was normal the next day. BUT, this time it has been consistently going on for the past week. There was one day where I did not go and I took some fiber because I felt like I was a little backed up and when I did go it was a normal color. Every time I have gone though (besides that one time), it seems like it is yellow as well as when I wipe it is yellowish. No diarrhea besides one time after eating a Mcdonalds burger. Diet has been somewhat normal, I eat out too often though. When I am looking at the stool, it also seems like I am passing things too quickly (12 hours it seems). I have had this issue before years ago where I was passing things too quickly, having yellow stool with mucus, and having diarrhea. I had blood tests, barium swallow, endoscopy, stomach emptying test, and scan on my gallbladder. All came back normal besides a small hiatal hernia and a small polyp in my gallbladder which the doctor said was too small to worry about.
Obviously at the moment... I am really terrified of something terrible being wrong. My biggest is pancreatic cancer. I've done a lot of googling on this subject and seen most medical websites say it is bad, but then some websites where people have the same symptoms and it seems to only be IBS.
