What Causes Urgency, Cramping And Orange/yellow Soft Stool?
For about ten days now I have had orange/yellow very soft stool, leakage, severe cramping. I am in the bathroom VERY frequently and can't wait. Exhausted too, but except for bloating, which I think is just my period, there are no other symptoms. What could be the problem?

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Many causes for orange yellow stools like
Carotinoids contain food, bile acid not obsorbing properly (short term staying for digestion), drugs (ripampicine, aluminum hydroxide containing foods).
Just check weather your taking taking aluminum hydroxide containg medicine (antacids).
You may suffering from IBS.
Tab. Imodium twice a day will help.
Avoid fatty food and alcohol.
Please consult your doctor if symptoms not improved.
