Eating habits, stool color question, mind helping?


Posted by silentvelcr0

I ate horrible foods (frozen and fast food) for about 3-4 years in a row and a few months back had to go to the hospital for severe abdominal pain where my gallbladder is at.  The ultrasound came back normal and I was put on prilosec/omeprazole.  Since then I have been feeling better gradually, I had a few days where I would feel bloated, gassy, or just kinda weird in the abdominal area, no pain, no vomiting, no fever.  I've since been eating a lot healthier, fruits, whole grains, no more frozen burritos, pizza rolls, or fast food.  But I am a worrier, and this has caused anxiety, so the doctor did some blood and a complete urine test and both came back normal.   I went to the gastroenterologist and he said that if he were me, he wouldn't get anymore tests done and he'd just keep on eating healthy.  My stools go back and forth from brown, brownish yellow, and yellowish, doctor said that is normal and should not be worried about it.  Was just wanting to know if anyone else could confirm to ease my worrying.
