A member asked:

Sometimes i have a strong urge to go to bathroom . and it comes out with a lot of gas noises and floats.stool is brown soft and formed.normal or worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries...: Strong urge to have a bm is most commonly associated with ibs or other food intolerance eg. Lactose intolerance. Keep a food diary and see if there might be a pattern to your symptoms that would implicate something you are eating. Good luck!

Still having floating stool. But consistency and color is normal, normal shape (one piece), and not greasy looking. I noticed Im burping a lot between meals as well as passing gas. Am I just swallowing that much air throughout the day/with meals?
