orange, oily droplets in toilet bowl

My 4 yar old moved her bowels today. There were several droplets of an orangy oil floating on the water. Also, a few very small ones of greenish color.
What could it mean? She doesn't eat fish.

White mucus in stool can be linked to candida outgrowth in the digestive system. If you were on cortisone and antibiotics treatment for an extensive period of time; candida albicans a fungi strain normally the resident in the intestines start to proliferate and morph into parasitic colonies capable of rupturing intestine walls in the absence of good bacteria once controlled their number. White mucus-like stuff is most likely the part of parasite colonies loose free by the pressure of stools; especially concentrated on the exit side of the stool. Get a medical diagnosis on candida growth. Do not underestimate this fungal parasitic infection.

Candida infection is the main cause of 70+ ailments are in fact symptoms of this infection but doctors will diagnose them as stand-alone disease, disorder, syndrome etc.

Extensive craving for carbs, sugars, alcohol, obesity, scaly skin around the eye, lower level of energy, depression, increased allergies and many more are symptoms of this nasty fungal parasite. Left untreated, Candida Albican infection spreads to other organs as well. Search for Candidiasis. See images.

I have dealt with this for three years. Some doctors may not believe a systemic fungal infection and may deprive you of most needed strong anti-fungal treatment you need. Seek an expert! If you see white stuff in the stool, take it seriously and get a clinical lab diagnosis on Candida / yeast overgrowth - Do not waste time with homeopathic solutions you see on the internet. Do not waste time with herbal remedies, probiotics, enzymes etc. such weak remedies will increase your discomfort anyway as candida is still taking you hostage. When these weak remedies upset them, candida will upset you. Even Kefir will discomfort you and you will never understand why.  

You will need modern antifungal medicine prescriptions unless your kidneys and liver are too weak to tolerate strong antifungals. You will need a total annihilation on outgrown parasite colonies, nothing less. See a doctor!

Once you are healed; you must change your life style, eating habits. You will manage to stay away from consuming too much simple carbs, products with yeast (Wine, Beer) even synthetic sugar substitutes – if you are lucky, disciplined, and eager to take control of your life. Only after medication and recovery that probiotics supplements may work - only then populating your intestines with beneficial bacteria may work. Study Candida if you have white mucus in your stool. That white stuff should not be there at the first place unless you have eaten too much Jelly fish :). All of the above is my first-hand experience. I do not have that white stuff anymore since 2009, as of 2016 as I managed rid of it.

I highly recommend Mediterranean and paleolithic diet after your recovery; with the condition of keeping an eye on fructose-glucose-lactose levels and foods and drinks with yeast.

Did she eat anything made with olestra? If not, it could suggest fat malabsorption. Please check with your doc.
