I have had floating stool for as long as I can remember. I am 5’8” & 129 lbs. Don’t drink. 95% of my diet is whole foods & I was just diagnosed with fatty liver thru IGF -1 & IGF binding protein-3 labs. Thankful for my new functional. I do much better with farm fresh eggs, grass fed & finished tallow to cook with, grass fed & finished ground meat & rybeyes. Salads such as romaine lettuce or tomato salads. No more foods with any chemicals. I eat two meals unless I am absolutely starving. Poop is now sinking all of a sudden. Perfect in shape. I am so hopeful now

I'm 32/female/underweight & unhealthy ( skinny fat with inflammation ) - Within 2 days of going gluten/dairy free on keto, I saw my stool sink. First time in 16 years. It ALWAYS floated and I always checked.

This makes me think. Am I consuming too much fiber? I eat a lot of leafy greens and often experience bloating and gas after. You have me paying more attention.

@ElectricBlanket1122 10 ай бұрын

Fiber isn't itself the issue - but Fiber becomes the issue when you are pairing it with a diet that has ultra processed / maybe dairy / maybe gluten. I always had floating stools everyday for past 16 years ( I'm 32, underweight but unhealthy ). Went dairy and gluten free on a keto diet. First time in life I saw my stool sink ( 2 days on keto ) and I am still consuming fiber - just none of the processed food / sugary / gluten / dairy

Dr Eric Burg talks about this - He says when the gut becomes damaged it finds it hard to tolerate ANY fiber. Even th good fiber ( not grains ) it sees as enemy. He suggests going atleast 3 days FIber Free - and then reintroducing fiber for 3 days and see if you feel better or worse. If issues re-occur after introducing fiber again, I would suggest completely laying off it so your gut can heal FULLY first. Dr Eric makes good point to try FERMENTED foods ( saurkraut/kimchi) to add fiber in without gut throwing a tantrum. Fermented items increase microbiome diversity. Once your gut is healed, slowly introduce fiber ( leafy veg ) back into your diet ( there's a specific way to do so, read Dr Will Bulsiewicz' book on how to introduce fiber, recipes and all, into your diet when gut has issues with fiber ) The book I'm talking about is Fibre Fuelled Cookbook. Try Will's method of adding Fiber back in after your gut has significantly healed from laying completely off fiber. You need the fiber. But there's a process to follow to make your gut friendly with it again. For now do the 3 day trial - based on that cut fiber out completely - Wait few months - reintroduce through Will's method. @@jannellmeagher638

I know she's a doctor but tbh a lot of medical information is unreliable. Fiber is a very common issue for digestive health, and mine didn't start improving until I transitioned to a more keto/paleo diet which leaning more toward low fiber. It's not perfect (thus why I am here), but the change is drastic and shocking. I went from constant constipation and not going for every 7-10 days, painful and bloody stools to effortlessly pooping daily and no blood.

It is the opposite for me. When I eat unhealthy and my stomach bothers me they sink. When I eat healthy organic whole foods, with lots of fiber, eating mostly plants, I am regular and feel no bloat, and they float. I'm in my 60s and I've been this way since I was a child. I have no gallbladder. it was removed about 20 years ago. However, about 40 years ago I was diagnosed with mal-absorbsion and many veggies come out looking undigested. This includes green leafy veggies, berries, peas, watermelon, and mushrooms.

@OswaldDigestiveClinic 3 ай бұрын

You may want to try a digestive enzyme to support your digestion and with no gallbladder. This will help with bloat and malabsorption.

Your gut was likely having a hard time digesting the extra fiber and possibly good fats. Introduce things slowly so the gut can catch up.

Floating stool caused by fats is a malabsorption of fat. If your stool is sinking with the carnivore diet, you are absorbing and metabolizing your fats correctly.

If you added in a lot of green leafy vegetables fast, this can happen. The body needs to adapt to an increase in fiber. You may want to consider reducing the fiber content and add more slowly.
