Stool: Stool will float if there is more rapid transit through the intestines with a softer movement. The fact that your stool is Brown and formed suggests that there is no significant malabsorption or infection occurring. If symptoms worsen, a gastroenterologist would be best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Gas content: Stools float due to gas content from gas produced by bacteria in intestine. Neither a bad sign or good to see bubbles. Normal variant.
