A member asked:
Why do i have orange oil in my stools?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malabsorbtion: The inability to absorb fats, (mineral oil laxatives, ) can result in this complaint. Also the use of the weight loss agent orlistat, which blocks fat absorbtion. Several diseases cause malabsorbtion, if you are not taking mineral oil or orlistat talk to your doctor.
