Hello,
I need you to tell me are these stools easily flush-able? Do they float? How is the smell? These could be due to food related if acute, but if this chronic, I suggest you to get medical attention as soon as possible to look for the cause as chronic pancreatitis can present this way. Removal of gall bladder can also lead to such condition if fatty meals are taken too often.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
