A member asked:

Does floating poop indicate a healthier diet ? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mis-informed: "floating poop" is an exception, not the norm. Stool floats in part when it contains a lot of air or gas. You are correct in that diet plays a considerable role in stool composition, but additional roles here are played by your bacterial flora, the effectiveness of food digestion and absorption, GI transit time, more.
