Oil drops in diarrhea

Jpouch8888Member

I've been having very watery diarrhea since last Wednesday. It looks like oil drops are in the bowl. I'm on cipro since Thursday with very small improvement. Appetite is less, but no pain/butt burn. Just lots of diarrhea.

Why would there be oil droplets in the bowl?

Happens when you have fat malabsorption, or diarrhea, since fat takes longer to digest.

It may or may not be significant.
