Yellow voluminous diarrheal and oily stool that smells unpleasantly is usually a symptom of fat malabsorption (steatorrhea). Fats are normally digested in small intestine with participation of bile and pancreatic digestive enzymes.
Chronic diarrhea, defined as a decrease in stool consistency for more than four weeks, is a common but challenging clinical scenario. It can be divided into three basic categories: watery, fatty (malabsorption), and inflammatory. Watery diarrhea may be subdivided into osmotic, secretory, and functional types. Watery diarrhea includes irritable bowel syndrome, which is the most common cause of functional diarrhea. Another example of watery diarrhea is microscopic colitis, which is a secretory diarrhea affecting older persons.
