light-colored and floating stools

[Guest guest]

Hey there -

Just thought I'd add my two cents worth. I suffer from light-colored and

floating stools myself. I consider myself a neuro typical and pretty

healthy otherwise.

I am also Blood Type A. Blood Type As are often HCL deficient, which

impacts the ability to breakdown food -- thus impacting nutrient absorption.

I find when I take HCL (500 mg per meal) my stools immediately darken.

I have read that floating stools can be indicative of a problem breaking

down fats. I take lipase - an enzyme that breaks down fats. Lypo by

Enzymedica is a good product available in health food stores.

So, taking HCL and lipase helps to resolve this issue.

I am still researching the underlying cause of low HCL (maybe hereditary)

and inadequate lipase function (hereditary or due to another prob)
