I'm glad you asked this question cuz I was curious what exactly fatty stool was too. I think this is the perfect forum for asking this question so I don't think you should be embarrassed for asking it. I'll be watching to see if anyone posts a reply cuz I'd like to know too. I just thought I'd let you know you weren't the only one wondering. :)

I could be wrong here, but I was told to look out for that kind of thing for pinworms? Anyone know? What do tapeworms look like? One of them was described as looking like rice.

This is a very COMMON topic here and it generates no surprise other than an occasional...."Oh Yeah, that's me".

Fatty stools float with perhaps some skim on the water. Your body is not able at the time to absorb fat and it is released and it just takes the direct route.

To make you feel more comfortable, there is not one amongst us that does not turn around a look.

The bottom (pun) line is if it sinks, it's a good day and if it floats, more time or diligence is required.

Steatorrea is generally seen as the typical "classic" celiac stool. It is described as a grey, pale or a yellowish color. It tends to be frothy and or floaty. It can be in the form of diarrhea or solid bulky stools. It is almost always foul smelling. I could see it sorta looking like rice krispies.

n,

re: floating stools

My GI laughed when I mentioned "fat & floating stools". He said something about misinformation on the internet and needing to have the stool samples analyzed (which we did). I'm not the expert but have done some research (ironically on the internet).

"One wrong idea is that floating stools are caused by an increase in the fat content of the stool. In fact, it is increased gas levels in the stool that make it less dense and allow it to float."

Open Original Shared Link

and:

"Another cause of floating stools is malabsorption. More than two weeks of diarrhea with floating stools is often seen in people suffering from malabsorption, a dysfunction in the GI tract that affects the body's ability to digest and absorb fat and other types of foods.

Increased levels of nutrients in the stool (which have not been absorbed by the GI tract) are supplied to the normal bacteria that live in the gut, which in turn produce more gas. This results in more gas-rich stools that float.

Common Causes:

Dietary changes, diarrhea, and malabsorption can cause floating stools. Most causes are benign and will resolve when the infection ends or the bacteria in the GI tract adjust to the changes in your diet.

Patients with the following diseases may also have stool that floats: .....

.....Gluten-induced enteropathy (sprue or celiac disease) "

When I was a little girl (in the 70's) we had neighbor kids that had trouble with pin worms. The doctor told their mother to place scotch tape over their anus when they went to bed or to look at their bottoms when they were sleeping, using a flash light. It seems pin worms like to come out at night. Gross. But she liked to tell about it. So, I would think they could look like rice crispies. But, these kids had a very bad itching problem....

Perhaps it could be some undigested food? Do you eat rice crispy type cereal?

Just my two cents.

:blink: im pretty sure that its not pin worm i looked on the internet about it and i have no itching or anything else down there, and the only time that this seems to happen is when i eat bread, or cookies stuff with wheat and gluten in it. once im back on the diet it stops. plus no one else in the house gets this but me and pinworms is pretty contagious from what i understand. my kids get D quite a bit and my son is autistic so we are figuring that there is some kind of digestive issue in the house. my youngest (14months) just had her BM's tested for any kind of parasites or bugs as she gets quite a bit of D when she is on dairy, and all her stuff came back clean. my celiac blood work came back negative (1.1 and it needs to be a 4.0 for a pos, but i was on the diet for 2 weeks at that point) i've ordered my enterole lab kit so we will see what that has to say. im curious about the dairy one as 2 of my kids have had issues with dairy allready.

thanks for all the input.

hi its me again, just went to the bathroom (again ug!) now my bathroom stinks! ugh this is such an awful topic, im thinking that its undigested food, my bm's are an brown w/slight orange tint, but there is a slight film on top of the water after i go, and i do eat a lot of rice made products as that is what most of the celiac products are made with rather than normal flour. im also still eating dairy quite a bit in an effort to get some protien and wondering if this is what is in my bm's maybe. pinworms are larger than what i have going on im pretty sure, and i have no irritaion or itching on my bumb, which i understand i would have quite a bit of at night. my hubby said his mom used to deworm the family once a year, as we live in the country and have fun things growing out here! but im thinking its food or something.

nadine :P

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
