A member asked:
Stool question: some of my stools float. others sink. sometimes, even in the same bowel movement ill have a piece that sinks and a piece that floats. normal color. no pain or blood. no weight loss. no streaking on toilet bowl. is this just gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More likely some of the floating stuff has a lot of lipid/fat or fiber in it. I would keep a eating/stool diary and see if u can identify what it is. Share with your Drs most likely normal.

Incontact with norovirus 2 days ago. Today cramps, gas, and floating stools, burning while having a bowel movement. What could this be? Worried.
Stool concerns - my stool is about 50/50 on floating/sinking. About 50% will sink all the way to bottom of toilet - the other 50% floats. Everything else normal (color, texture). Is it OK that in the same bowel movement half sinks and half floats?
