> I've been having health anxiety lately. I think I have pancreatic cancer because I had yellow poop the other day. Pdoc laughed at me when I told her. I've also been getting a lot of colds this winter, like 4 or 5. I think I may be dying.
>Why does pancreatic cancer cause yellow stool? Because it blocks the bile duct? If you had such a serious obstruction to the flow of bile you'd be jaundiced (yellow). Before you go looking for minute traces of jaundice, note that another person probably would have noticed if you truly had that problem.
