Hello,
The causes of orange colour stools may be due to the intake of oranges or carrots.
Intake of food with coloring agents. Lack of bile salts in the stool etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
So get it done stool examination is done and 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.
