I've had these symptoms for 2 weeks now. I just went to my doctor yesterday. She said it is because of the Hydroxycut I have been taking. Xenical also gives you the same effects. They stop your body from absorbing fat and it comes out in your stool. Wink

I've had this same phenomenon of & on the last couple of weeks. Totally new & bizarre, but reading the other posts has me a little less troubled. I'm a 34 year old female athlete. I've been fighting a sinus infection & ear infection the last 3 weeks & have been on 2 rounds of antibiotics, allergy meds, 2 depamedral shots (sorry for the bad spelling; have no clue how to spell that!), and I eat alot of salmon & peanut butter. I don't think my orange oil droplets are from Olean or Olestra because I eat no processed package food. Maybe it's the fat combined with the antibiotics...? I do know that taking acidophilus (you can find these tablets with the vitamins) will help you keep your live/active/healthy bacteria in your stomach while on antibiotics or high protien diets. Look forward to reading the true answer to this puzzling problem Confused !

I just had a similar experience... glad other people have had the oily drops in their stool too- I've never had anything like this before and I was kind of freaking out. I also ate almost a whole tin of cashews yesterday and not a whole lot else, so I'm hoping that could be the cause since that seems to be a common thread here. I was a little concerned bc in a dance class yesterday (I'm a student at a musical theatre conservatory) I nearly fainted during class, but I'm hoping that is due to the fact that I hadn't eaten in several hours, and is unrelated to the oily poop incident.

I have been having this happen alot as well. I have been on a low cal/carb diet with little fat. I have to suppliment with mineral oils and fish oils. They work much the same as insol fiber and the oil spots are normal if not good.

Was i really happy to read all these questions about the orange oil droplets?! Tot I have a rare case of intestine problem. I had it for 3 days and was really scared of passing gas coz I wud soiled my pants. Yeah, it came out that much! I had cod fish prior to the symptom and I read that might be the cause of the problem. Definitely won't eat cod again! Thanks friends1

Hi, I have experienced the same problem, and have seen my doctor, I don't have liver problems, bile problems or any other problem. I am currently on a low carb diet, one of the allowable snacks is cashews (or any othersort of un-salted nut) and the doctor has put it down to this, not an uncommon complaint with him recently as this new weight loss program is taking off in Australia. Hope this helps and ease's some people's minds. If you are worried though, see your doctor Smile

I just had the oily orange. weird.. Had to check it out and here's what I found online..

The most frequent explanations are malabsorbtion of fatty stuff (which indicates a liver/bile issue), the Olestra/Olean 'fat-blocker' food additive, diet pills, and a doctor suggested that it could have to do with a colon infection or palups..

One thing a came across a few times was.. cashews.
I made Indian food last night with about 2 cups of purreed cashews. Ate it for dinner, night snack, and lunch the next day.

Cashews are super fatty, and there could be something unique to their make up that creates an orange oil (the food was super orange) - unclear if its malabsortion of fat or just cashew oil.

Anyway, Online doctors definitely suggested an exam, but everyone posting online has said the doctors were stumped and it went nowhere. good luck!
