Hi, guys.

I'm at work & just returned from the toilet after having a number 1..
I did have a small wind as I was urinating, but when I had a look at the toilet paper before I dropped it in the bowl I sew orange marks & then when I looked into the bowl it looked like oil droplets in my urine!

I was so worried, but after reading your posts I too have had fish yesterday for lunch..

I have fish very often & it was a 1st for me - that I have noticed..

Thanks guys -x-

Thanks to everyone who has added to the mystery, I hope a Doctor can enlighten us on what happens when we eat this 'fish'
I had it after eating Orange roughy and tinned austrailian salmon (kahawai) NZ
My partner only had the orange roughy and hasn't yet had the orange oil in stool. It is interesting that the fish oil is so undigestible, and yet no other symptoms like stomach pain?

So it is the cause of having fish. I had Fish n chips at this cafe and they let us picked the fish. I had Snow Fish last Saturday and today is the third day since Monday i had the experience of having Orange oil in stools. Today is yellow. I hope everyone would be fine by now. I hope mine too. :-)

I am a bodybuilder and just received my new diet about a week ago. It includes tuna twice a day and orange roughy twice a day and tons of asparagus and green beans and I have just started to notice the oily bowels and it is a grayish color. It scared me at first but then I realized it was probably all the fish. Thank goodness I only have 3 more weeks of this diet.

I have also been getting oily droplets in conjunction with bowel movements (olive green or orange). I've had orange roughy and canned tuna in the past two days, so not sure which is causing the problem. It's a relief to know it's not a serious issue. Thanks for posting, folks.

OMG thank goodness I found this site. I went a little crazy with the Super White Tuna, Sea Bass, and Red Snapper that I had for dinner 2 days ago. I haven't had any stomach cramping although when I went to the restroom I had the orange oily discharge with my bowel movement...I started to panic. I hope this doesn't last long since I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow!

Thanks again for all the information.

I woke up this morning relly feeling like I had to go to the athroom..I had tilapia last night and when I woke up this morning my stoool had a large amount of oil in them, and it smelled awful...On the other websites it said that it could be cause for another condition, so it would be wise to see a physician..It does make me feel better to know that all of the people on this post had fish last night, but I thought i'd pass this info along still...

This happened to me for the first time.I ate Orange Roughy lastnight and had a big severing today.I noticed this afternoon that when I went bathroom and wiped my butt,The paper was orange,I thought at the time to myself...weird.But I didnt look into the toilet before flushing.Well tonight My tummy was cramping from gas,I took 2 gasx and went to the bathroom hoping to relive the pain and maybe fart.Well I had a little normal stool,But when I wiped agian the paper was orange,So I was like WHAT THE?! So I looked into the toilet this time and so orangish oil floating on top of the water.I had my husband look to.He didnt know what to think other than maybe being oil from the fish we ate.So I got online and found this forum,and im glad I did,seeing im not going crazy with wondering if something was bad wrong with me.I did look up Orange roughy though and we wont be eating it again I read on Wikipedia that it is one of the fish advised to stay away from.After seeing what I saw,I dont want my family eating it again.My whole family ate it lastnight,my husband his son our 2 girls and me,I was the only one to have the prob,But I LOVE the way orange roughy taste and had alot of it Lastnight and today.Thanks Y'all for all the info...I feel better

The thing is that I don't think that orange roughy would make it through your system that quickly. Usually it takes three days for digestion from beginning to end, so it may have been something else that you ate. It does sound like it was liquid fat however in your toilet bowl. Does that make any sense at all?

Thanks for the sharing everyone! I was worried that I have some health condition because I kept farting and didn't realize that there were oil secretions that came with the farts. When I stood up to go to the toilet, the seat that I was sitting on was stained with orange stains! How embarrassing! I thought it was my menstruation but turned out that it was some orange secretion and it smelled disgusting! The first thing I did when I reached home was to visit the toilet and did my business. In the end, I was rudely shocked by the stools - there was a layer of orange oil, foul smelling & disgusting, floating on the stool. Luckily this discussion thread came to the conclusion that it is the fishes that are the culprit. I recall having raw fish (sashimi) for dinner last night - it could be due to the high intake of fishes (could it be the omega oil?) that's causing the orange oil secretion.

I just visited the toilet twice and the same thing happened, even had to wash my butt with soap twice before the oily fats can be removed and to ensure that the disgusting smell no longer linger on the hands.

Hope that this is just a one-time case and will not cause any health problems. Cheers, everyone~!

Thanks everyone for all the input. I too had orange roughy on a Tues. night and by Wed. evening I had a regular BM but had that bright orange color on the toilet paper and alot of orange greasy globules floating in the water. Very concerning at first thinking about pancreas, gallbladder etc. but it looks like it was probably the fish. I've eaten orange roughy before and it has never happened so I don't know what made this time any different. Maybe a lower quality of fish? Who knows?! It is now Thurs. and still the orange oil is present.
