What Causes Oily Yellowish Stools After Constipation?
I had been constipated for 5 days, but could still keep eating and got hungry like normal. But nothing would really come out. So I took laxatives and through out the night when I had a BM it was a yellowish liquid/solid that broke into tiny pieces with an oily film that rose to the top of the water. I just want to know what might be wrong with me?
