Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that causes jaundice and dark yellow colored urine when present in increased amounts. Some people normally have higher bilirubin in their blood. This is known as Gilbert's disease. So their urine will naturally have more bilirubin.
It is this stercobilin that gives stool its normal brown color since bilirubin has a strong yellow color. Therefore the diarrheal stool may have a yellow color. It is possible for this to occur with any cause of diarrhea, such as infections, food intolerances and inflammatory disease of the bowel.
