What Causes Greasy Bowel Movements After Having Sea Food?

Hi, we ate blue marlin for dinner last night, and we actually ate a lot of it since it was do delicious. The next day, however, at around 2 in the afternoon, I experienced an unpleasant oily discharge. It wasn t poop, for I just later on noticed that my butt was greasy and smelly. It had an orange oily color, and I did not know what it was. My mom had the same experience, too, after I had the oily discharge. It happened a few times that day, until now. What could it possibly be? How can we treat it?

Hi,

You might have eaten too much oily food which is not digested and passing in motion.

If you have stomach pain and vomiting it may be due to infection or food poisoning or dysentery.

Drink plenty of water and liquids. Use probiotics.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
