The most likely cause is the distribution of fluids during anxiety, and the activation of the fight or flight response. Numerous studies have shown that those with anxiety and stress suffer from faster intestinal transit. Undigested fat and bilirubin that hasn't been adequately altered through the natural digestive process both increase the risk of feces becoming a type of yellow or yellowish green.īilirubin colors your urine and your bruises as well, and is responsible for the brown pigment in stool - but only after it is converted to stercoblin - a process that doesn't occur fully if food passes through the digestive system too quickly. The yellow color itself is due to a combination of bilirubin (a chemical inside the body created by the liver) and fat. Yellow is often the color of diarrhea, because diarrhea often (although not always) implies that the digestive system was "too quick" in passing the food through. What yellow stool traditionally means is that food passed through your digestive tract too quickly. How Anxiety Causes Yellow StoolĪnxiety may contribute to yellow stool color in a variety of ways. But if they rule out other medical issues, it is possible that your yellow stool may be linked to anxiety. Only a doctor can diagnose the cause of any stool color change. Foods and medications can change stool color as well. Some people have different colored stool at random without any indication that something is wrong.
Or it could have a cause that is generally harmless - something that just accelerated your digestive system temporarily. Yellow stool could represent a serious health problem. Yellow stool may be due to your mental health. Yet the color of your stool can also be affected by anxiety. It is important to see a doctor to rule out these issues. Yellow stool is linked to many common health conditions, such as pancreatic failure, cirrhosis, digestion issues, and a myriad of other conditions. The bad news is that no one can diagnose the cause of your stool color without looking at it directly and testing your blood for any common health issues. It's well-known that human feces can be one of the first indicators of a health disorder, so those that see that their stool has changed color often become immediately concerned.
So it's no wonder that many people worry when they see that their stool has changed color. Those with anxiety are prone to health concerns.
