Members openly discussed experiencing yellow and sometimes green diarrhea during flares, with the overwhelming consensus being that color changes are a common symptom, though some noted the yellow coloration was more prominent in the early stages of their condition and changed over time. Several members described the odor as particularly foul or vile, with one person mentioning keeping air freshener handy, while others connected specific colors to factors like bile from gallbladder issues or greasy foods. A recurring theme was the reassurance that these symptoms, while distressing and uncomfortable, are shared experiences within the community, though some members encouraged pairing medical treatment with complementary approaches like probiotics.
