Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of irregular bowel habits, using restroom 5-6 times and have floating stools for 6 years and getting temporary relief.
This indicates you need proper investigations like stool test for 3 consecutulive days, Colonoscopy and CT scan of abdomen.
If all the tests are normal get treated as IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome.
If there is a specific cause like pancreatitis or so get treated properly and continue medicines for long time.
Add on multivitamins and digestive / pancreatic enzymes with food.
I find this answer helpful
