Floating stool for 2 weeks, should I be concerned?

Hi there,

I can't decide if I should be concerned or not yet, but I've been experiencing floating stools for 2 weeks with no other symptoms. Everything appears to be normal besides that. I am in no pain, no unintentional weight loss, color is normal, I have about 1 drink per day, and nothing has changed with my diet. This just started all of the sudden.

Last year, I found out I was anemic, iron deficient, but I had also had the Paraguard IUD for a year before that, and had extremely heavy periods for a long time. I became pregnant soon after my anemia diagnosis, so my OB tested and said I was within the normal pregnancy anemic range they allow. I'm not sure if I am still anemic now that I no longer have the Paraguard IUD, so I'm not sure if the anemia is related to any of this or not unfortunately.

Based on my Google searches, floating stools are usually caused by: gas, intolerances, and problems with the pancreas.

I doubt it to be gas for 2 weeks consistently.

The color is normal, so I don't believe it to be pancreas related.

So maybe some kind of food intolerance???

If you've read this far, THANK YOU. I get a bit obsessive with my health so I have a lot on my mind. lol.
