Having orange oily substance when going to the bathroom, help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steatorrhea: Commonly seen in people taking Alli (orlistat) or xenical and eating fatty foods. Also seen in people that can't absorb fats well. See your doctor about this issue. I am referring to the passing of stools, and not urine.
