This can happen for a variety of reasons. * You've eaten a lot of beta carotene (one of the vitamins found in carrots) and been doing so for a while. This can turn you and your feces orange. * You've eaten something with a lot of orange food coloring. * You've contracted some relatively harmless bacteria that has the effect of changing the color of your feces, but apparanly presents no other symptoms (I'd leave this alone unless other symptoms develop). * If you've recently had a CT, MRI, or Nuclear Meds study, some of the dyes and contrasts will turn your poop some amazing colors. If so, call the office and confirm. Harmless but scary looking. Those were the nice, easy, benevolent reasons and, if you're in good health, you'll find your answer there. However: * If you're an alcoholic with liver damage, Hepatitis, or any of these three conditions, your liver damage level is increasing, and you're excreting more bilirubin -- a yellow bile salt that normally occurs in far lower concetrations. Signs of excess bilirubin as a result of hepatic insult are overall itching, ascites (enlargement of the stomach as it fills with water -- can be osculated to confirm), jaundice, etc. If this is the case, you'll need to discuss this change with your doctor soon -- no need to go to an ER for this. * If you're on chemotherapy for any reason, some of the toxins (notablye cytotoxin) will change the color of your stool. Discuss over the phone with your oncologist/immuneologist. * If an unusual smell is associated with this color change, or other symptoms like diarrhea set in, or especially if you spike a hihgh fever (100F+), either see your doctor or go to an ER, depending on the severity of the symptoms. If none of these symptomological patterns fit you, talk to a doc soon -- it's a new one.
