Frequent Diarrhea - yellow oily

For a long time, I have frequent diarrhea with oily stool. I have it in the morning and after meals (even during meals). It seems like things I eat triggers the diarrhea. I hardly have constipation. My stools are almost never solid. This problem has caused the inside of my anus to come out a little.Please advice.

I would go see a Gastro doctor. He can do all sorts of tests to find out what the problem is. You could be lactose, gluten tolerant, etc. I too used to have yellow oily stools, and sometimes still do, but I don't know what causes it. If you can, go to a gastro doctor and if you don't have one have your primary doctor refer you to one.
