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.
That doesn't allow enough time for bile to break down completely. (Bile is a bitter fluid produced by your liver. It is discharged in the small intestine when it's needed to digest fats.) Other causes of green stool in adults: -You've been eating leafy green vegetables (excellent for your health). -You consumed green food coloring in cakes, flavored drink mixes, cookies or popsicles -You're taking iron supplements. Diarrhea may also cause green stool.
