Floating stools (sorry TMI)

[bobcat]

Ronski, I have looked on the Bristol stool chart and I'm ok according to that, but I couldn't find anything about floating / sinking on there. Do you have a link at all?

Bobcat, I have had a sample annalysed before and had normal results. From what I've researched (have done some wider research now, not only on the net), there is a lot of variation.

Ok thats interesting mine was getting worse the more anxious I became especially when I started to worry about it and the 5 days waiting for the results was a nightmare.

Be good to hear Ronski's views regarding sink or float did your gp suggest any other tests? xx

Gp not really concerned as no bowel habit changes. Once said I had IBS, but I don't know if I have or not. I'm currently waiting to see a gastroenterologist, but that is for abnormal blood results, rather than stomach symptoms.

I do think that anxiety plays a significant part as well though Bobcat.
