Bright orange specks may show up in your bowel movements, though this should not actually color your bowel movements orange. Dr. Paredez continues, âOrange diarrhea may be the result of infectious diarrhea, which causes rapid transit through the intestine, which limits the amount of bile in the stool. Bile duct cancer and pancreatic cancer are the life-threatening medical conditions that can result in orange diarrhea.
If you have been or on, any source of vitamin in the form of vegetables or supplements, the orange bowel movements could be linked to it. Beta carotene is a form of Vitamin A that causes orange bowel movement as a side effect, so if the orange color continues, monitor your diet and any supplements taken. If the stool is pale orange in color it could be an indication of lack of bile salt which is the source of the usual brownish color of the stools.
