Pale, floating stools could also just be gallstones. The bile has to pass from the liver into the gall bladder (where it is held until you eat some fat) and then it just happens to pass through the head of the pancreas where it mixes with pancreatic fluids on the way into the small intestine.
I had this happen to me before, I had a ct scan and an ultrasound and they came out normal, and my stools went back to normal. The only thing that we could figure was that I passed a stone or something. I never had any pain again and my stools have been great.
