Yellow floating stools after FMT

[mjmcgetr]

So I recently had an FMT. Upper and lower. I still dont feel great but no D I am going twice a day normal formed stools except they are light colored not neon yellow like with C diff but still have a yellowish tint with a little mucous and sometimes float. I know most people see a return to normal colored stool after FMT so I am wondering about malabsorption or possible relapse. Doc wants to put me on a short course of vanco or deficd if i test positive but wont test right now because I am not having D. I am eating a very limited diet gluten free and dairy free. Any advice?

Mine were still yellow for a while after . I think months and so were a few people I know who had fmts. I think this is because your new bacteria have to grow. Once they grow and take over stool color should gradually get back to normal. It sounds like the fmt is working so far and this is typical of a normal recovery. Just be patient and try to not worry. I know it is stressful but you really are doing pretty good so far.
