Re: Floating Stools

[Guest guest]

Isn't it sort of strange that he's only had one floating stool, and

no other ones? I wouldn't think yeast or steatorrhea would be

transient like that. If it's only happened once I am inclined not to

worry about it (we've got enough other things to worry about ...

blood in stool, night time tummy pains, mommy's and daddy's

exhaustion ...).

Or am I mistaken? What do you think?

> Floating stools is a sign of steatorrhea a condition that

happens when fat is not digested or broken down. Found this out

when diagnosed with Celiac Disease and various other malabsorption

problems. This also causes true constipation...pseudo constipation

(when finally go it is diarrhea)....not just diarrhea like many

think.
