My 5 yr old son has been pooing oily orange stuff!! his poo looks fine but on top of the water is orange oily substance, for the past 2 days help?

Orange stool: Stools appear in a variety of colors and consistencies. Stools containing oil are also known as steatorrhea. When you have oil in your stool, it may appear grease-like, float to the top of the water and have a foul odor. Orange oil in your stool may suggest underlying health conditions such as celiac disease, cystic fibrosis and lack of bile acids. Check with your pediatrician if it persists.
