why does poop sometimes float?

Answer 1

OK if your poo floats it means you are eating healthy and your fiber intake is good. If it doesn't float and you have sinkers it means you are not getting enough fiber which is not good for your colon health.

Answer 2

it depends on the density of the matter. supposing your poop is not very dense that day then it would float. such as people with diarreah, they keep going and going so their poop is light. and therefore floats....the denser it is, the more it sinks. say you ate a dense object, then that'd make your poop more dense so it'd be denser. Basically, if your poop is less dense than water, it will float, and if it is denser than water it will sink.

Answer 3

People say that if it sinks then it's not healthy poop...but if it floats it's healthier poop

Answer 4

It's the amount of fiber in your diet. I read somewhere that if it floats it's a sign you're getting enough fiber. If not, you probably need more.
