Does this mean I have malabsorption or a gall bladder issue? At first, I ignored it b/c I thought it came from my wipes but I just put some wipes in the toilet by themselves and there was no oily film. I had a bad morning with diarrhea. Ugh!!!!!

I have this same problem some days- my GI told me that it was because I am not absorbing fat properly, especially with constant diarrhea or rapid transit :)

So I guess that would be malabsorption...

it is basically your food is shooting thru your body too fast...

So, it sounds like it is somewhat "normal" when you have diarrhea then, so I won't worry. My stools don't float, so I guess I am ok. I wonder sometimes if it could be causing the diarrhea. I don't eat a high fat diet either.

As far as I learned, it doesn't matter whether your stools float or not. That has to do with fat content too.
