Orange Oils In Stools, Cramps In Lower Abdomen. Family History Of Pancreatitis. Suggestions?

Hello, I have been having orange oils in my stools and afterwards have bad cramps in my lower abdomen. I am 5'5" and weight about 100 lbs. My mom had pancreatitis and had her pancreas completely removed 10 years ago. Could my symptoms be related? I have never had any problems regarding cholesterol levels on my annual doctor visits. Thank you so much.

Celiac disease and food intolerance may result in similar symptoms as the undigested fat globules may appear as orange oil droplets.Chronic pancreatitis/sudden spike in fat intake/gall bladder disease have been known to cause similar symptoms.
