What Causes Yellow Oil Like Fluid In Stool?
I have had yellow oil in my stool. Similar to olive oil and it floats on the water. It seems to leak and I have been very self conscious of passing gas or doing lots of movement. I ve only had it for about a day now but I want to make sure nothing is wrong with me.

Dear;
This could be secondary to malabsorption of the food.It could be an intestinal problem vs pancreatic insufficiency. It is advisable to have a complete laboratory exam and physical evaluation with your doctor. You might need a colonoscopy for a direct visualization and sampling.
I hope my advise will be helpful.
