Brief Answer:
More details needed...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I couldn't find details of your age, past medical history/treatment in this post. Further may I know how long have you been noticing those stool features. Do you have stomach pain, nausea, vomiting? Do you find blood in stools?

Presuming this was a recent symptom, the most likely cause would be undigested fat particles. You would get such fat substance in the stool occasionally following a highly fatty meal. And such incidents should not alarm you.

If you been noticing these for a long time, I need you to provide more details about duration of symptoms and associated symptoms (as described above).

Regards
