Oily Stool
Oily stool, also known as steatorrhea can be caused by several different factors. If you think you may have this, you need to go to the doctor as soon as possible. It could be a serious issue like cancer of the pancreas. In most cases, the oily stool is actually because of pancreatitis, but you can never be too sure. Your doctor will be able to run some tests and be able to give you a clear answer on what is causing it and can treat it. You can find more information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatorrhea about the causes of oily stool. It is not something you want to avoid getting looked at.

They mentioned the side effects included oily stool, oily spotting and I notice orange oil spots along with the BM as well...so, sounds like mal-absorbtion to me but you should still seek PROFESSIONAL medical advice!

Well the effect comes with having fatty or oily stools. You will see orange or yellow spots of grease in the toilet with your bowel movements because that is the fat that has been stopped from being absorbed by the Xenical in your intestines.

The therapeutic value of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is diminished by the side-effects of diarrhoea and steatorrhoea characterized by oily stool due to malabsorption and maldigestion of fats. Inhibition of pancreatic-lipase by HAART has been implicated as a cause of undigested fat-induced diarrhoea.

oily stools Health: Body, Mind and Spirit ... Only your doctor with a stool sample will be able to tell you exactly what is going on. And I do not believe that sushi will give you oily stools. Worms, maybe but not oily stools.
