Hi all
I'm really hoping someone can help with this as it's really affecting the quality of my life.
I have had severe Abdominal distention and floating stools since as long as I can remember. My stools seem pretty normal otherwise I think. I will wake up most mornings with a flat stomach and it will grow significantly throughout the day. I don't really have any gas or pains either, just these symptoms.
I had tried a number for elimination diets and nothing works so I don't think it's food related?
Any body experience similar symptoms and can shed some light?
Thank you

Yep I've been tested for that and I've cut it out, no difference!

Hi I have floating stools on and off and my stomach gets bigger as the day goes on What you eat can definately bloat you but anxiety is mostly the cause - if you are anxious you are taking in more air so that can cause it.
Doesn't seem like any red flags to me - but i am not a doctor.
Try and relax - I know it's hard my stools have not been normal since i had semonella 5 months ago. All I want to do is wake up and have a normal toilet habit.
Cheers.

I was told that floaty stools were an indication to too much fat in your diet. I had abdominal distention when I was eating too much fruit and had fructose malabsorbtion. Don't know if that helps as there seems to be so many symtpoms that are the same for so many ailments.

Ah I've read that it can be malabsorption of fat, which I also suspect is an issue for me
