Yellow gelatinous material in stool few times a week

Posted by TundeMagee @TundeMagee, Jun 14, 2016

Hello all,
I've had a strange yellow gelatinous material in my stool for the past few months, on and off, and I see it more often when I have diarrhea. It may happen once a week or more often, not sure, but I just see it more clearly when I have diarrhea, which happens not every day but maybe once a week or so. When my stool is solid, my poop is often a brownish-yellowish color, and I am afraid I may have something.

Here is a picture from today's stool. My entire diarrhea was yellow and this material was dispersed throughout, and I had a sore throat today as well (unrelated?):

Please let me know what direction I should take. The problem is that I've had yellowish stool for months, on and off, but today's sore throat is a new case, maybe unrelated?

HI @TundeMagee , I agree with Colleen. You really need to see a GI or Primary DR. . It could be anything from what your eating to a gallbladder problems. Please get into see a Dr. the sooner the better. All too often people wait too long and compound the problem. I wish you the best..

So sorry this is happening to you. I'm not a doctor, but I would immediately go to my family doc and find out about it. They can take a sample and get it tested.
good luck, Please keep us posted.
Best wishes.
