Helloooooooo!

I made my New Years Resolution and so fa so good! I started at 228 and am 213 now! However I have a slightly personal question...I don't mean to be gross but is it normal to have yellow poop while being on a low carb diet?? I find this to be disturbing! If this is normal I will feel better lol

Yellow Poop

A google search:

Quote:

There are a variety of reasons why stool will be yellow and greasy appearing. It can be due to the intestine's inability to digest fat because of malabsorption such as in celiac disease and cystic fibrosis, or because the pancreas is unable to manufacture adequate digestive enzymes.

Yellow poop can be caused by gastrointestinal infection caused by giardiasis, a protozoan infection that can cause significant diarrhea.
