Hi,
Orange/light yellow stool may be seen in fat malobsorption or bike pigment malobsorption. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. It may be due to high intake of fatty food or infection. Get it done stool examination and microscopy. 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.
