I've not changed my diet - at least not significantly - but over the past six months my bathroom trips have changed. Damn things won't ever flush! What causes floaters? What do I need to start/stop eating to cure it?
😆
you been eating aeros ?
Floaters are the sign of great health. Be proud of the turd that rises above all others to salute you from the bowl.
[edit] I am not a doctor, merely an optimist.
Floaters are a sign of fat in your stool.

I agree with high climber, are you eating more fat or less fibre?
[i]Floaters are a sign of fat in your stool.[/i]
When I sit on a stool there's a lot of fat on it, not in it.
It is not unusual for me to triple flush. Sometimes a load of extra bog roll will sink the blighters and drag them around the u-bend.
we've got a viewing shelf toilet (this being Germany) and i often have to encourage the little fellas on their way with a few sheets of bog roll between them and my fingers....
the annoying ones are the ones that are so big and sitting there 90 deg to the on coming tide they should dive, but get turned by the current and end up sitting there in a streamlined position till you give them a little encouragement...
Fibre-tastic! S'all good! If worried visit the Golden Arches more often 😀
pale wiffy, oily, floaty poo might be liver-related (and might not)
just floaty, prob fine
don't suppose you're taking Orlistat are you ? 😕
Post some pictures so we can properly evaluate.
alpin - have you managed to establish WHY some/most European toilets have a viewing shelf?
I was deeply worried this thread was going to have pictures...
No pictures!
Seems like it's nothing too serious then. Not taking Orlistat - what's that?
StoolTrackWorld--- should get ten pages on this one....
magical drug that turns your poo to shite 😆Orlistat - what's that?
Mine are completely random.
No pattern whatsoever, sometimes I pass an Oak Tree that makes me cry, sometimes it's rusty wee and sometimes anything in between.
I think the Mrs will leave me if I don't lay off the pasta.
*THUNK*
gnnnn
*Thunk*
Done.
*Edit- First one to "POIDH". 😆
And I thought it was one to wipe and one to polish - ten pages - jeez!
Admin...can we make this a sticky!! 🙂
PooTFU.
I'd be more worried when it's like a flock of starlings taking off.
And I thought it was one to wipe and one to polish - ten pages - jeez!
got to keep going till you draw an ace..
There is a site, kind of like Rate My Ride...
Y'Ken?
Don't.
Mine are completely random.No pattern whatsoever
How sad for you, mine all appear with Shimano 600 Arabaesque markings
Op - Make sure that you're getting your 5 a day. The less fruit and veg, the more they float.
Fat in your liver, cut down on alcohol and increase veg asap. Poos' should be the weight of a house brick 😉
I'm concerned about my quantity, normally have to have 3 before I leave the house. Anyone else have this problem?
i have become so sensitised to expresso and othe rground coffee that i start needing a poo when I'm brewing one on the stove. A swift and explosive evacuation then occurs and I'm good to go.
the toilet is unusable for around 30 mins after. Fortunately I'm out of the house by then so its SEP.
