Oily Orange Bowel

by drea7544, Jan 01, 2009 11:29AM
I, too have an oily orange substance floating in the toilet.  It's disgusting. About 1 year ago I went to the doctor and, after giving her a stool sample, she prescribed me some antibiotics to treat for Campylobacter. I also stopped drinking alcohol.  (I was drinking 2 fifths of vodka a day). It worked, up until last night.  This morning I had another episode of this orange oil.  Quite heavy.  I am severe alcoholic.  I am not sure if the oil was related to the Campylobacter or the alcoholism. I was sober for a few months and there was no oil in my stool.  I have started drinking again and the oily orange droplets have returned.  I can't  get a clear answer on this.  I am just posting this in case it helps someone figure out how to diagnose this.  I am thinking its alcohol and pancreas related. Also, I had gastric bypass surgery about 7 years ago.


This discussion is related to another mysterious orange oily substance with bowel movement.
