A member asked:

Is it bad if i'm having light orange greasy oily substance from anus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If you're on one of the diet aids that inhibit fat absorption, this isi a common side effect. If you aren't, you may want to see your doctor, who will discuss your diet in detail (be honest) and your meds and supplements.
