Not necessarily bad: but floating stool is an exception, not norm. Stool floats in part when it contains a lot of air or gas. Diet plays a considerable role in stool composition, but additional roles here are played by your bacterial flora, the effectiveness of food digestion/ malabsorption, GI transit time, more. Exposures? Travel? Persistently altered bowel habits deserve medical attention & evaluation of pain pls.

Abdominal pain: Mild abdominal pain and changes in stool formation may indicate a change in diets or a change in intestinal bacteria . Probiotic supplements can help to normalize the intestinal flora. Antibiotics may be necessary. Elimination diets can be helpful to identify irritating foods. Seek immediate medical attention if severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, bloody or mucus stools develops
