Stool analysis: Have a thorough examination, blood work and a stool assessment. If your stools are floating you may have problems with absorption of fat. Be reviewed by a GI specialist to direct further care. All the best and I hope you feel better soon.

Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy will be a great help in evaluating your condition. Biopsies can be taken and with a good prep, the entire colon lining can be visualized to help with diagnosis.
