A member asked:
I've been experiencing sporadic but chronic episodes of intense pain prior to a bowel movement, which is relieved post bowel movement. stool appears yellow/clay colored and floats. have been experiencing for years, more frequent now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A floating stool suggest a high fat content. This may also be associated with a lot of gas and bloating. The associated gas and bloating could be the cause of your pain as could very hard stool. The high fat content could be diet related or caused by some other problem. Would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist to further assess.
