Maybe: If your symptoms are fully resolved, there is no need to see the doctor. However, if these symptoms persist, your description could be consistent with fat malabsorption. This is a condition that presents with foul-smelling oily diarrhea and weight loss. Temporary causes include use of Alli - a weight loss agent, Olestra - a non-digestible fat substitute, and rarely lots of nuts
