Withdrawing from pain meds having yellowish diarrhea
Hi everyone Ive finally quit my pain meds which were percocets and I was in them for about 1yr and pretty much quit them cold turkey.. yesterday which was day 2 and today day 3 I’ve been having diarrhea and when I whip it has that golden tinge to it and maybe some mucus not really that foul c diff smell, my question is can me quitting them make me relapses and does normal diarrhea have a yellow tinge?

It would probably be best to call your physician. They should be able to guide you through the medication withdrawal. If not, I am sure they can refer you to one, it's best to have someone help you with this. I know nothing about this but think it's always good to get medical guidance

Re: Withdrawing from pain meds having yellowish diarrhea
Do not presume that the yellow it's related only with Cdiff .I have read post on many IBS-D sites and most people with severe IBS were complaining that their stool and also the M is yellow. Yellow is a color your stool becomes during its time in your gut, if it doesn't have enough time in there the bacteria don't get a chance to change it to the normal brown color. It can even happen if it's not loose.And yes ,withdrawing from meds that have as a common side effect the constipation ,will affect your transit.As Nanci said , you should definitely ask your doctor to help you with withdrawal.
