Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Strange Bowel Movements

Got a doc appt.in a few days but thought I'd see if anyone here has any insight. I started having occasional green bowel momements 2 weeks ago and they become more frequent that last week although I still have brown ones too. This didn't register concern with me at first because I've had green D before and I had told the GI doc about it when I was DX IBS back in 2007. My current green bowel movements have been either normal or constipated. Sometimes they've had yellow in them too. Since yesterday I've noticed that the surface of the toilet water is oily and once it had orange spots. I've look this up and it's a sign of malabsorbtion. I should mention that the green started after I started taking zantac and liquid (generic)mylanta which were prescribed by a ENT for reflux. I stopped the mylanta 2 days ago to see if it was causing the green. So far that hasn't made a difference. Any insight is appreciated. By the way I don't have my gallbaldder and my IBS started after I got it removed in 2007.
