Oily Orange Fat in Bowel Movement

For the last 3 mornings I have had diahorrea. The first day, it only lasted approx 45minutes. The next day it lasted for 3 hours.. I experienced severe cramps, hot flushes and then running to the bathroom every five minutes for those 3 hours... This morning after eating breakfast, I had diahorrea which had oily orange fat deposits in my bowel movements... this mornings breakfast was high in fat content, but this is the first time I have experienced this.
Should I worry???

I would monitor your diet closely.  If you are eating a diet high in fat it might be affecting your gallbladder and/or liver causing the oily orange stools.

Secondly, if it is persisting, you should see a Gastroenterologist.

Keep us posted.

I don't know what this indicates, but I urge you all to check out the gastroenterology community.  That question has been asked by people there.  I don't know what the oily orange indicates myself, because I didn't read the threads.  But, I do know this is serious.  You must see your doctors if you haven't already done so, too.
