Hi,

It's good to hear that your colonoscopy, endoscopy, and CT scan results were healthy. Bright yellow fluid excreted during bowel movements can have various causes, such as diet, bile duct obstruction, or liver disease. If your tests have ruled out any major health issues, it's possible that your symptoms are diet-related. Certain foods can cause changes in bowel movements and stool color.

Foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash, can cause yellow or orange stools. Some medications and supplements can also affect stool color. If you have noticed that certain foods or drinks trigger your symptoms, try avoiding them and see if your symptoms improve. Keeping a food diary can help you identify potential triggers. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
