Is poop supposed to float? I hear people saying things like "floating like a turd" or whatever, and I find that confusing because, um, mine don't, er, ever. I've heard that it might have to do with fat levels in someone's diet?

For the record, though, I don't have any weird bathroom habits, except that sometimes at work I act like I'm going to the bathroom and actually go to the building lounge and do a quick yoga break instead.

Turds float because of methane content....depending on what you eat and how you eat.....if you eat your food fast and swallow air, more gas is introduced into your lower GI tract.....

Methane in your poop makes turds float to the top of the soup

I've heard from trusted sources that healthy people's poop should float. Sometimes mine does, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on what I ate and how I ate.

I go to the bathroom to read the paper and escape the gathering horde.....Light incense....chant......mumble.....

They leave you alone.....
