Orange Oil In Stools, Abdominal Cramps. Family History Of Pancreatitis. Related Symptoms?
Hello, I have been having orange oils in my stools and afterwards have bad cramps in my lower abdomen. I am 5'5" and weight about 100 lbs. My mom had pancreatitis and had her pancreas completely removed 10 years ago. Could my symptoms be related? I have never had any problems regarding cholesterol levels on my annual doctor visits. Thank you so much.
