High fat diet.

@hap8 I guess if this happens occasionally it could mean you have recently eaten a fatty meal - I have them occasionally too; however, it if it is something that has been happening on a regular basis perhaps you could mention it to your doctor. Here is an article that might interest you.

Hi Hap8,
From what I have learned from really getting in tune with my own body is that floating stools mean you are doing it all right, because it is high fiber content that cause the stools to float. I have "severe gastroparesis," which means undigested food sits in my stomach, sometimes for days, making it so I don't even want to drink water. My stools never float because I cannot eat high fiber foods. From what I understand you should be patting yourself on the back for a job well done.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. All Best Wishes for the new year!

They are not now.
They were pale/orangish when I was on Prilosec and Pepcid but now that I’m off of the Prilosec and just on Pepcid and Reflux Gourmet—they are generally an ok color.

The last part of the article deals with too much fat causing the floating stools, and the possible diseases that the symptom may be indicating.
