    I have exactly the same stools. Mine is caused by intestinal malabsorption due to inflammation of intestinal lining. At 16, it's unlikely to be a chronic pancreatic issue, I would make an appointment with a GI to investigate further. You can tell by the bubbles, the color and consistency that you probably have a little issue absorbing fats. It may not be anything of concern but you should still consider consulting a GI.

      Thanks for your reply. And let me ask you how your symptoms turned out. Why do you think I could have a poop like this, since I'm already a little afraid of all that.

      In my case, they're still investigating but I have yet to get a diagnosis.

      Tbh, it could be anything, digestive symptoms are not specific to any particular condition. The best would be to seek medical advice and have tests done.
