What Are The Causes And Treatment Of Yellowish And Loose Stools?

Hi, i'm not sure why, but when I have gone to the washroom today, i've noticed that I have a yellow in colour (like yellow curry) and white little "balls" in my stools, and also has been very loose. Could you maybe tell me why that is or what I should do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of loose stools like yellow curry and white balls in stools, wants to know why and what should be done...
The loose yellow stools can be due to intestinal infection or due to intolerance to certain foods, additives or beverages that you have taken.
The white balls can be undigested food material most probably.
This can be diagnosed by:
Sending the stool sample for lab and ask to run all the tests available.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
Tests of blood.
Clinical evaluation and examination by a Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon. And to get started with specific treatment as indicated.
Maintain good hydration and electrolyte balance.
Take probiotics, bananas, yogurt and soft diet easy to digest.
Boiled and cooled water. home-made food only.
