Issues with stool since C-section...need answers.

I had a c-section in July and since then have had problems with my stool. It has been a yellow butterscotch color and loose at times. I sometimes have to go several times a day.I went to the ER because I was faint, extremely light headed, had slight blood in my stool, and was freezing in sweats and 80 degrees and just felt off and was told by the nurses line to be seen asap, so I was seen and told everything was normal after a c-section. The doctor did a blood, urine, x-ray, ekg, and culture and found nothing severe and that I was healthy. So he gave me Bella alk/pb elx and said to take it 4x daily as needed. Nothing has changed. I am starting to get nervous because the light headed and faint feeling is still there now and then and rarely feel hungry. I also have kidney stones... don't know if thats needed info.

hello, your condition is most likely to be gallbladder disease, if you have gallstones and one or more is blocking bile from reaching your intestine, then your stools will be yellow or pale in colour, a simple ultrasound test will determine your that, cheers.

I should also mention that when laying on my right side I have a cramping and that most cramping throughout the day is in my right side. Its a cramping and painful discomfort. I have felt burning off and on throughout my stomach. The only comfy way for me to lay is on my back elevated.
