I am working with a baby currently with orange stools.  They appeared by 2 
weeks of age.  Alse VERY mucousy.  At 2 1/2 weeks, when I first saw him, 
there were also a few red flecks in it.  It tested very heme positive. 
(positive for blood)  Mom has avoided dairy, and they improved for a short 
while.  She is now on the "Elimination Diet".

So in this case the orange color was from small amounts of blood dispersed 
evenly throughout the yellow stool.  Yellow + red = orange.

So I would heme test it.
