Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have been having GI distress with feeling bloated and having yellow stool. This is very non specific and could be numerous things. The most common would be a viral illness followed by gastroesophageal reflux or gall bladder disease. I would not take any penicillin as this could cause other effects all of which are not good. I recommend taking tagamet or zantac first and then if that does not help then trying omperazole.

If after an additional week of not feeling well I would recommend seeing your medical provider. You will need testing to discover what is causing your discomfort.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
