Nausea and Red-Orange Feces

I have been feeling nauseous and have been having loose stools that are reddish-orange in color. I don't know why my stools are reddish-orange and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what could cause it. I am not currently taking any medications and I haven't taken any for more than 9 months. So I know it isn't any side effects or anything. I don't have diarreha but my stools are a little loose and I go several times a day. This has only been going on for two days, but if anyone has heard of this before please let me know. Thanks.

I just have been having this problem for 2 weeks. I have had vertigo nausea and throwing up. Now orange-red stools that were so dark they looked like blood. I have not ate anything of darker nature like beets etc that can cause change. I read something about bowel salts at one point out of curiosity maybe if there isn't enough it causes change in bowel color. I went to the lab today to do cbc,. stool and c-diff testing hopefully we can help one another by finding out the reason. I have been feeling bad and don't really feel that great. Cramping stomach wise and bathroom from diarrhea to watery stool....

I'd go to your doctor and ask.  It could be from something in your diet.
