Patients with ileectomy can present with severe steatorrhea due to bile acid depletion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Steatorrhea can be defined as the present of excessive quantities of fat in the stool. Clinical Presentation The floating of the stool is also possible, due to the fact that excessive quantities of gas are present as well. [mddk.com]

Intestinal Disease
Abstract Many approaches have been proposed to differentiate between steatorrhea due to pancreatic insufficiency and intestinal disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When small intestinal disease is suspected as the source of steatorrhea, function tests of intestinal absorption may be performed. D-xylose absorption will test proximal small bowel function. [diagnose-me.com]
Possible causes include exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, with poor digestion from lack of lipases, loss of bile salts, which reduces micelle formation, and small intestinal disease producing malabsorption. [en.wikipedia.org]
