What Is The Cause Of Watery And Bright Yellow Bowels?
I have been under a great deal of stress and just gave my notice at my job. I had my galbladder out several years ago so I know I do dump acid into my stomach at a little higher rate I have been taking zantac and it came to a head this week and now my bowels are watery and bright yellow...is this just the acid catching up?

yes,
you are troubling your gut by dumping acids. you can increase the dose of ranitidine (zinetac) to 300mg twica a day or try a better alternative like rabeprazole 20 mg/day. It should be sufficient. Hope this helped.
