Hey guys,
Totally a TMI question...
I'm 8 days into a Dificid round (failed flagyl and short course vanco). I'm having formed stool on the Dificid that are pleasantly darker than what I was putting out on vanco (that orange color). However, when my poo sits in the bottom of the toilet, the water around kinda turns yellow. Like the stool is diffusing a yellowish liquid. It's not a crazy amount, just the water immediately surrounding the stool. And no, this is not my urine.
Any idea what/why this is?
Thanks
Ryan

Re: Color Around Stool
Hi RhinoRy
Glad that things are improving! That yellow liquid could be mucus but who knows.If i were you i would try not worry so much about what i see in the toilet as long as it's not diarrhea and it's not frequent , there is a lot of toilet weirdness going on when you deal with CDiff.

Re: Color Around Stool
I was told by my doctor not to worry about color unless it's red or black. I am 14 months out since vanco, and I get the yellow that you describe. Most likely the stools appear brown, but they are brown-yellow, and when you flush, they are loose enough to diffuse the yellow liquid. That's my opinion, as yellow seems to be my color mostly since c diff. :-) I honestly wouldn't worry about this. As long as you are not having D and your stools are becoming formed, you are in recovery.

Re: Color Around Stool
I agree with Lisa :) I, too, experience the yellow color. Light brown/yellow, and I'm of 6 months into recovery. Of course, it worries sometimes too. But I was also told color doesn't mean very much in the grand scheme of things. (Unless-as Lisa said-it's red or black).
Congrats on the formed stool and I pray you continue to heal and recover :)

Re: Color Around Stool
I would expect weird colors and lots of odor on the Dificid. On Vanco my BM's were odorless, but on Dificid and after Dificid they had a foul smell. You are lucky that they are formed so just ignore the color and smell because it sounds like its working to me. Good luck!
