hello , i have yellow floating fatty stool for months however i didnt pay much attention and thought it was normal. however in the past week i have had cramping and severe bloating/flactulence and i have noticed a second colour and mucus alongside my poo. is the second colour blood like? (im colour blind) any ideas what it could be?
oh and my acid reflux has got a lot worse withing the same time
could be a few things. fatty stool is a sign of malabsorption, could be an issue with liver, gallbladder, pancreas, you could have a gi infection. there are a number of issues, you would need to go doctors. what other symptoms do you have, age? etc
Hi,
I have had the same issue since Jan 2017 along with upper left abdominal pains. I have had many many scans, blood tests, and endoscopy with nothing to note but Gastritis and low Amalayse. I have found however, only 1 solution which I discovered the past two days has given me non fatty floating stool two days in a row, for the first time since Jan 2017. I have been taking a liquid antacid that contains the following ingredients:
Aluminum Hydroxide - 400mg
Magnesium Hydroxide - 400mg
Simethicone - 40mg
Regular tablets haven’t done a thing, and attempts at probiotics, vitamin regiments, and dietary changes (literally dozens of different ones) have not worked. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the good results will continue and after I finish this bottle that I will remain symptom free. Perhaps may just be severe gastritis causing malabsorption? We shall see.
bloating , constipation , tummy does feel a bit swollen, find it hard to put on weight , dont think there is anything else symptom wise. i am 22 years old !
oh and cramping
It could be any number of things. See your doctor and ask to be referred to a GI specialist to check for conditions like gastritis, h pylori and IBS.
did you ever figure out what was going on? been having the same problem for a couple months
