Oily stool in adults, often referred to as steatorrhea, can be caused by malabsorption of fats due to various conditions, such as celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, or cystic fibrosis. It may also result from a diet high in fat or certain medications that interfere with fat absorption. Additionally, liver or gallbladder disorders affecting bile production can contribute to this condition. If someone experiences oily stools consistently, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable for proper diagnosis and treatment.
