Steatorrhea: It sounds like you have a digestive problem and you should get some stool tests to check it out further. The problem could stem from: A) lack of bile acids (due to liver disease, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) or medicines), B) defects in pancreatic enzymes, C) malabsorption/mucosal cell problems, D) meds that block fat absorption, or E) excess oil/fat in diet. Hope you get some help there.
