cancer??

thin stools sometimes flat. Orangish-yellowish dye coming from stool… why..?

Fatty greasy foods can do this if you have any malabsorption/digestive issues going on. Sibo, Autoimmune Pancreatitis will cause this as well. Have you had a colonoscopy yet?

No, it’s still 2 months out for whatever reason

What are your eating habits? Fast food, greasy foods, fried foods?

I was first diagnosed with overt hypothyroidism. I got on thyroid meds and then my digestive system took a hit. I went gluten, dairy and sugar free which helped temporarily. My poop was oily, orangish colored and watery. My dr thought colon cancer. I was losing rapid weight. I had a colonoscopy and no cancer was found. On imaging, my colon was inflamed along with my pancreas, liver, gallbladder, kidneys and stomach. Pancreatic cancer was brought up. Since I have 2 autoimmune diseases, cancer was out of my mind. Everytime I ate, I got bloated, had gas, belching and organ pains. I demanded specific tests for autoimmune pancreatitis and sjogren's due to my symptoms. Both hit. Since going on a low FODMAP diet, my symptoms stopped. My poop is normal now. I still eat meats, but low fat meats and I bake or cook in olive oil. I had to give up onions and garlic which triggered major inflammation in my guts.

my stools have been a bit orangey much of the time. I can say I have mild digestive issues and have a fatty pancreas, so I’ve found. My diet’s okay but I do eat a fair bit of junk in between meals. I don’t mean junk foods as we know it but sweets, biscuits can be junk depending on what sort of biscuits eaten. I’m trying to cut out the in between junk snacking.

It could thst. Could be diet and/or pancreas composing. Colposcopy might be a good idea in any case. Or even a FIT test for convenience and quickness.
