Stool change

For the last three months I've been on an iron supplement that has turned my stood dark to black. I was also taking charcoal pretty regularly for about a week. Even without charcoal, my stool was dark.

Recently, due to a debilitating herx that had my blood pressure up with vertigo, my LLMD had me stop all lyme herbs (Byron White). I've since added Concentrace minerals and a 1/2 tsp of MCT to my diet, otherwise, it hasn't changed much. I've been eating the same things every day until I could speak with a nutritionist who put me on FODmap diet yesterday. No gluten, no processed sugar, small amount of fruit, vegan with chicken or beef once or twice a week. Yesterday I had organic oatmeal for the first time in months. Last night's dinner was white rice, vegetables, and veg broth. I drink plenty of water and herbal teas. Coffee in AM with almond milk.

Suddenly, my stool is yellow and greasy. My diet is mostly veg and rice and some meat. It's just odd that all of a sudden it's not dark. What gives? I realize Lyme causes all kinds of anomalies, but this just seems out of the blue. No blood.

SIBO - Candida - Lyme - Babesia - Bartonella - Hashimoto's

Traveler, my LLMD also took me off high dose Curcumin - been off that and lyme herbs for about 4 days.

Thanks for being here and answering questions! <3

Usually yellow and greasy stools are related to the workings of the pancreas. It may not be effectively breaking down your fats. Is your stool floating?

With SIBO, patients often need to support the digestive process with enzymes. Have you ever had a stool analysis? It can identify whether there are sufficient enzymes and if not you can target supplements. This definitely sounds like a deficit in enzymes.

I alternate with veganzyme and nutrametrix/isotonix digestive enzymes.

I also use Thorne betaine hcl and pepsin for stomach acid.
