You may want to think back on your diet for the past few days. The classic medical description for stools with a lot of fat in them is "fat, frothy and floating." Sounds like that may be what happened to you?

If it continues, call your GI. This can also be caused by deficiencies of certain digestive enzymes or bile, so he may want to check your liver function.

or go on meds because it could be that you're flaring.

Definitely get it all checked out, however....maybe stool samples as well.

Are you having any other symptoms such as rectal pain, urgency,frequency, bleeding.etc?
