Hi,
i found some oily discharge in my bowels recently. I have read about such side effects when people consume slimming pills but I definately have not consume any of those.

I'm due to go for a ultra-scan on liver and gall bladder as advised by my company doc.

Are such common? Pls help!

Inflammation of the rectum (proctitis) may be the cause for your problems.

Abdominal ultrasound is a very useful diagnostic tool, but you also need a clinical examination of the rectum, standard blood analyzes, occult blood test...

Later you may need colonoscopy if necessary.
