My 2 yr old son had a bm today with oily
orange discharge, but the stool was solid.
He did not have fish, but campbell's
chicken noodle soup. It looked like the
oil on the top of the soup before it is
cooked. I found it a bit alarming! Any
thoughts?!?

Orange Oil Posted: 05-01-06 12:50pm
I had this issue of orange oil a few years
ago. Never could figure it out then, but
it did have me worried. Now I know the
cause... Pops used to cook orange roughy
like every week. So iguess thats where
mine came from. I havent had the issue in
years and have been a practicing
vegetarian for 3 years

Oily Orange Posted: 05-04-06 08:02am
:oops: thank you to all who have posted
about the oily orange discharge. My
husband and I both woke up with the
problem after eating escolar the day
before. Unfortunately I love the taste
of escolar and cooked it again last night
before finding this forum. At least we
don't have a weird disease that only Dr.
House could diagnose!

Orange Oily Problems Posted: 05-19-06 19:46pm
I was so relieved to find all this
information from other people. I started
taking hoodia gordonii diet pills about 2
weeks ago. I didn't have any of this
orange oily problem until this morning.
The stool was solid but the water in the
toilet had orange oil floating. Some of
the stool had the orange oil on the
outside of it. But last night, I did eat
a ton of heavily salted cashews. I am
thinking that maybe it was from the
cashews, since I saw someone else write
that too. I hope that is all that it is.
We will see though.....Anyone else think
this is why?? Or have any other ideas?
Kind of weird!!

Damn Escolar! Posted: 06-22-06 14:49pm
Now we know why they call it "butterfish".
My wife and I went to an asian fusion
restaurant yesterday for our anniversary.
She talked me into trying the hawaiian
butterfish. It was one of the tastiest
fish i've ever eaten. About two hours
later my stomach was aching but I didn't
have a bowel movement which is quite
normal for me because I get frequent
"false alarms." anyway, my stomach ache
lasted throughout the night. Today,
while I was at work, I felt a movement
coming on after lunch. It felt like a
strange liquid was coming out and on the
toilet paper was a yellowish oil.
Luckily, I did not stain my clothing.
Someone asked about how they can prevent
the staining...Try some thin maxi-pads
(even if you are male), nobody will know
except you. It's better than ruining
your work clothes. A lot of the posts
here say the discharge is just leaking out
so watch out when you pass gas. :oops:
this discharge also happened to me several
years ago when I drank alcohol while
taking an antibiotic.

man, I was relieved to read your post. I
thought I might be having some chronic
pancreatic or gallbladder disease but it
seems perhaps it was just what I ate that
day. Yesterday I became very alarmed
when I discovered orange oil floating in
the toilet bowl after I used it.
...Just two days ago I was in bali where I
incidentally also ate a very tasty
butterfish for dinner, took my antibiotics
for a leg infection, and then proceeded to
drink some alcohol.

I just had this happen to me. Went to the
washroom, had a loose bowel movement and
then saw all the bright orange oil
floating on top... Weird. I havent eaten
fish, but the day before yesterday I had
cashews in my dinner, and yesterday I ate
all the leftover nuts. Since I noticed a
few others say they had this after
cashews, i'm guessing this must be it.

4 Days Later... Posted: 07-28-06 12:20pm
Am I glad I found this site. I had to say
I was laughing my butt off (pun intended)
when I read everybody's stories - not
because I am mean, but because the exact
same thing happened to me!
4 days ago I bought a package of 2 large
fillets that are supposed to be 'wild
caught cod' at a local supermarket. I
bought it because the other cods next to
it were 2x the price. Both fillets are
fairly big and each had a yellow stain on
it. I didn't know what it was, but cooked
them for me and hubby - delicious cod, or
so we thought.
I started to have cramps overnight. By
the next day, I was producing gaseous,
stinky orange bubbles out of my butt. Had
I not been wearing pantyliner, my brand
new italian leather couch would have paid
for my misfortune! It's the most
disgusting thing that ever happened to me!
I couldn't control passing the gas, and I
was not aware that this noxious gas could
stain my clothes!!!
I also had diarrhea. It's like wwiii in
my toilet bowl everytime. On and off I
had this cramp in my stomach. But the
staining was absolutely the worst. I used
to laugh at the term 'anal leakage' and
thought it doesn't exist, but gosh, did I
find out what that means.
I have escolar rather frequently whenever
we eat sushi and it's never my favourite
fish, I had gas everytime I ate it but I
just thought that perhaps it's because the
fish is not fresh or something. Now at
least I know why! But never had I been
given this gift of creating orange
bubbles!
Now it's my 5th day, I still have a little
bit of orange oil but at least it's no
longer bubbly. I was debating whether I
should go see a doctor but I am glad I
found this site. I believe the cod I
bought was escolar, but was mislabelled
where I bought it. By the way, nothing
works against this - I have tried every
pill available and nothing worked!!!
Someone should warn brides and grooms to
be!!! Seriously!!!!

Angered And Confused Posted: 07-28-06 21:31pm
Hey guys, I am extremely upset about a
foreign liquid that was excreted out of my
anus around 8:30 am. I was busy beginning
my daily routine as I released quite an
unusually large force of flatulence.
About ten minutes later I went to the
bathroom and noticed a foreign liquid in
my panties. After thouroughly examining
this substance, I realized that it was an
oily orange substance, unlike any I have
seen before. Anyway, I continuously tried
to clean the substance out of my panties.
Only when I used clorox and palmolive
grease remover, did I succeed. Well,
obviously I was extremely concerned due to
my medical history (tortuous colon) after
calling my doctor about the uncontrollable
orange oily anal leakage, my doctor
informed me that it was something I ate.
This demon that caused such terror and
fright was that of the buttery fish known
as escolar. So, if you ever suffer from
an alien substance excreted from your
problem, fear no more. It is just the
escolar fish. Good luck to all of you and
don't worry because this is a cure for
chapped ass, sore ass, dry ass, and
cracked ass. Best----poop face

Thank God For This Post! Posted: 08-02-06 17:35pm
I'm so glad I found this forum. I was so
worried. I was eating breakfast this
morning and all of a sudden I felt soooooo
weird. Then, I went to the washroom and
found a large orange stain. I was soooo
freaked out. I was at work too. It
smelled so gross.
When I got home I went to the washroom and
this nasty oily discharge came out, but it
really wasn't diarrhea. I started
thinking about all the crazy things I
could have had and if I was dying. I
google "orange diarrhea" and found this
forum. Now I am so relieved.
About a day or two ago my parent cooked up
this huge fillet of white fish, it tasted
good, and I had never had it before.
Omg. I'm never having any white fish
again!

Oily Orange Liquid Posted: 09-03-06 19:39pm
I have been eating alot of orange roughy
(well cooked) and have been having this
same problem of oily orange liquid
leakage. I have crohn's and cronic
pancreatits and have been calling and
going to all my doctor's thinking this is
bad malabsorption. (i am very under
weight). But now I am wondering if it was
the fish. (just had more today)
i havn't had pain or cramps just the weird
orange liquid that floats on water.
How long does this take to go away after
you stop eating the fish?
Is this dangerous to our intestines?

oh my gosh!!! This is
soooo weird! Several months ago, I

different that could've caused it was a
boat-load of cashews the day before.
Could it have been from so much oil in
them???? How
strange....
so now we know cashew nuts can trigger
this strange phenomenon. The reason I
say this is because I ate a whole packet
of roasted cashew nuts two days ago and I
now have this horrible effect. Thanks
sweet4jay for confirming
this.
hello, I just wanted to throw in another
case of cashew induced oily discharge!
I'm currently having this problem (too
much information?), and my dinner last
night was a big bowl of fried rice with
cashews, plus i'd been eating handfuls of
salted cashews from time to time over the
last two days.
So, if anyone is experiencing this problem
and thinking "but I haven't eaten any
fish", bear cashews in mind.
Oh, and also, someone mentioned that they
had this problem after eating fried chicken. well,
the night before last, I pigged out on kfc
(healthy, huh?), so for all I know, that
may have contributed.
Not only that, but the night before I ate
some kind of fish. It was a pale fish
though, not orange.
Given everything i've eaten over the last
three nights, I hope i'm not leaking for
the next three weeks! D:

Very,very Worried Posted: 09-30-06 10:44am
I am 29 years old and my son and myself
just moved to texas from saskatchewan,
canada, about 2 moths ago to be with my
fiance. About a week or 2 after arriving
I became very gassy, which I never payed
to much attention to until I started
noticing orange oil floating in the toilet
after a bowel movement, I then found this
web site and to my surprise noticed that
this condition was not uncommon, my fiance
is diabetic so we eat alot of sugar free
and fat free foods, I cut that completley
out of my diet after learning on this web
site that the fat free pringles that I was
eating were full of olestra that info
brought me some relief, it has now been 5
days since that adjustment and the orange
oil as not dissapeared, I have checked all
of my foods and I cant figure it out,
except for some mexican food that we go
out for sometimes but I used to eat it
back home and never had this problem, not
having any health insurence until we are
married makes it hard to see a doctor, if
anyone has any other ideas on what might
be going on I would love to hear from
you......Thanx from the very,very worried

I have been having the same problem with
the orange oil in my stool. I am a
vegitarian so it could not be the fish and
I don't often eat fat free snacks. I
have just moved to a new place and have
been eating a lot of new things so I can't
seem to track down what could be causing
the problem. I was wondering if there is
a list of foods that contain olestra or
other stubstances that cause the problem
so that I can be on the look out for those
foods.

Orange Diarrhea Posted: 10-17-06 17:00pm
i've been having this all day! It started
at work with bad cramping, then I had a
bm, which I normally don't do anywhere but
home, if I can help it, which I couldn't.
I've had to go 4 times so far, which is
unusual. I made a taco dip yesterday for
dinner, and instead of using cream cheese
that I normally use, I used lower-fat
neufchatel cheese. It does not list any
olestra or any other fats on the label.
Has anyone experienced this from eating
neufchatel cheese, or could it be from
something else?

Orange Tinted Stool Posted: 11-16-06 05:49am
A lot of these issues sound like your
normally inactive gall bladder feels a
need to dump more bile (yellow &
slimy) into your digestive system. This
usually happens when one eats harder to
digest food or even not typical foods for
that persons diet. When the yellow bile
enter then intestines from the stomach it
mixes and develops the type of stools you
mention. I had my gb removed so I always
have bile in my system and dread that type
of stool about 10+ times a day.
Good luck to all

Oily Orange Discharge Posted: 11-22-06 19:23pm
Thank you to everyone who has written
about this very strange problem.
My 5 year old daughter has had these
symptons since yesterday. I've had her
at 2 gp's then the hospital. Nobody knew
what it was and I have been beside myself
with worry. She did have fish the night
before it started. The fish was labelled
deep sea perch. Does that mean they
seafood shop has misinformed me.
Also my entire family ate the same fish
but it only happended to her has anyone
else had that happen.

Oily Bowel Movement Posted: 01-08-07 19:18pm
My husband told me he had oil in his bowel
movement one day and he also found the
orange oil drops in my son's bowel
movement. I didn't pay much attention
untill yesterday and today I found myself
have the same problem 3 times. I
searchered online and found this page. I
was thinking it might be a contagious
problem but none of us showed other
symptoms, such as stomach pain or
diarrhea. After read through other
people's post, I think it probably came
from the fish we discoveried and ate
recently. After we moved to a new place
I found wild caught orange roughy from
ralphs store is very dilicious and
inexpensive. We ate it quite frequently.
I'll try a experiment by not eating the
fish for at least 2 weeks and share some
possible discovery with all of you.
