Why is my 14 month old sons bowel movements yellow?
August 12th, 2009 | 
Author: My son started a low dose antibiotic 4 weeks ago. At first he had diarrhea, but as soon as I put him on an acidophilus it went back to normal. Last week he got the stomach flu and was throwing up so I stopped giving him the antibiotic at that point since it wasn’t staying in him. That was 10 days ago. He seems to be all over the flu also but his bowel movements are yellow now. I don’t know if it has something to do with the flu, or if something else is going on now.
Can anyone help me?

Are you using the same brands as you were before for his diet? We found that one brand of milk turned our son’s stool yellowish green. When we switched back to the other brand of milk it stopped.
You may want to give your doctor a call and see if this is normal with the medicine he has been on.
Yellow bowel is normal. Nothing unusual, probably food he ate, plus the remnants of antibiotic. I wouldn’t worry if otherwise he is ok.
Bowel movements are yellow when there is too little bile in the intestines. This happens when a person’s bowels move too fast through the intestines, such as when you have diarrhea. Try adding white crackers or blueberries to his diet. If they don’t revert to normal in a few days, see a doctor.
