Answer

Are you taking any type of mineral oils or diet pills?? When you do, the orange you see floating is grease basically...It is the contents of whatever you have eaten that was heavy or greasy or even fattening that are running through your body and not breaking down the same way that other foods break down...That's what happened to me when I took mineral oil for a while. If it continues or starts to spot on your underwear, I would call your doctor and ask!
