Does it matter if stools float, I mean Is that a good or bad sign?
I recently changed diet, so I am not sure does it mean anything about the diet.

In health circles, floating stools usually mean good. This means there is enough water and fiber and looseness in them and they pass through easily, but If they sink, it means they have been compacted and perhaps there is not enough fiber, too much meat and sugar. I wouldn’t be worry much about floating stool if I were you.
