I would take it out and see what the roots look like! There could be some rot going on. I have found that my lucky bamboo grows happiest in water with a few rocks for support. Also, you can keep an eye on the roots pretty easily that way.

it may also be a nitrogen deficiency, it is known to cause yellowing of the leaves and sometimes the stem. you may want to try using a fertilizer
