This is bad. You have excessive bilirubin in your stools. This is a sign of liver problems or kidney problems. See a doctor.

Yellow diarrhea can suggest a variety of situations. GERD, bacterial or viral conditions,or lack of bile. In some cases, the culprit could be a contaminated food that was consumed.

Human stool is yellow because it contains excreted bile, a waste product from liver. Bile is shining yellow in color. That makes stool yellow.

Bowel movements are dependent on what you have eaten in the last 72 hours. The color is not significant. What is significant is that you have diarrhea. It may be from food poisoning, which is quite common.
