Hello,
Glossy and runny stools may be due to lack of bile pigment seen in obstructive jaundice or infection to liver or anemia or irritable bowel syndrome or food intolerance etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Get it done ultrasound abdomen, stool examination and urine examination.
Use tablet sporulac. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
