Does he have abdominal pain with this occurrence? Does the stool have a different shape or an unusually fowl odor? I do this also and my doctors seem to think it is normal.

Hi, I am sorry that your son is not feeling well.  Strangely enough, this same exact thing happens when you take the weight control drug Alli.  I seems as if his body is not holding on to the fat that he takes in.  That is what the drug does.  When you take it, it prevents your body from keeping that fat inside.  What then comes out is an orange oil....The fat.  
Maybe your son's system cannot for some reason hold onto the fat and it is "leaking" out.  I am sure it happens more when he eats things with high fat content, like pizza.

People who have taken the drug alli have been known to have "accidents" of oily stool.  I hope this helps.

Did your son eat any white fish 1 or 2 days before he passed the orange substance? My daughter also experiencing the same thing, I can see orange discharge floating on her pee, and when she passed out gas, the orange discharge will also come out. So worried, and brought her to see doctor but the doctor seems to know what it is. Just found out from google that butterfish or some mislabelled white fish ( labelled as codfish/ snowfish) might cause this symptoms. Hope the orange discharge will go off soon..
