What Causes Diarrhea With Yellow Floating Stool?
Question: I have been having periodic diarrhea and most times there are white, brown or yellow floating large bean looking things floating. I tried to poke one and it was hard, but floats. They are symmetrical and long/oval, like small eggs or large jelly beans. They seem to be more frequent and started about 6 months ago. Any ideas?
