I have a question?

Hi everyone I was watching an episode of Oprah and she had Dr.Oz on and he had mentioned that if your stool floats it could mean that you had parasites.I researched this online and read that it may not always mean parasites but mean that your eating enough fiber.I've had stool test done for parasites but they came back negative for them,but something in me feels that I have some that they could not find.What should I do? should I ask to be tested for them again? or have a new test done? should I mention to my GI doc that my stools float? I need some advice on this and would greatly apprciate it thanks a lot.

Okay...I've been having this problem too.  I wasn't having it until I started going to a chiropractor who put me on an extremely large amount of a probiotic.  (Acidophilus and bifido bacterium, I think.)  I decided to stop going to her for my constipation and gas problems as things started getting worse instead of better.  I'm going to try a different one who deals with enzymes.  If he even attempts to put me on the same things, I'm going to be out of there so fast that his head will spin.  I went on Align and it made me worse at times than better.  The only way I could get going was to eat extremely fatty foods and then I would sort of dump everything at once.  (Sorry, that's gross, I know.)  So I personally don't think probiotics are my answer.  Anyways, I would tend to think malabsorbtion is problem the biggest reason for the floating stools.  I looked it up too, and apparently some vegetarians want floating stools as it means they are eating only fruits and veggies, but I think that is wacky.  Anyways, good luck and keep us updated with how things go in a few days.
