Colors of life

I don´t want to lose all sense of shame, but I have to investigate something.

It´s been years since last time I saw a brown poo.
Nowadays it is more like a sort of yellow. I suspect it is because of malabsorption.

Is this because of malabsorption?
Which color is your poo?

Mostly brown. It's only changed briefly due to meds/iron/barium/blood... all the usual crohnie stuff!

Mine's yellow!

I can't absorb fat - haven't been able to for over 2 months.

Having my gallbladder out tomorrow morning because of it. Ejection fraction is 27%.

Mine looks exactly like the brown one, the facial expression and all LOL!

Mine is nasty and black at the moment from the iron pills!
If i miss the iron for a couple of days it is mid-brown I suppose with occasional light bits in it which may be nonabsorbed fat. I dunno. Always firm too - yay!
I love how we can come here and talk about poo and noone is shocked/disgusted!

Mine is doo-doo brown color most of the time.
When my systems acts up with the acid deal, it's high-yellow with a hint of green and burns

Without pred or tapered below 10mg it's pale yellow. I'm having upper GI issues including a lot of bile. When I tried to taper last time (trying at the moment as well) I apparently inflamed and pinched off the bile duct because when I went back up on my pred it all suddenly released and I was spitting up bile and probably passed a liter of pure liquid bile D. Unbelievable burning pain. I'm on day 3 of this taper and just got hit with my first pale yellow bile filled tarry nastiness.
