Should healthy poop float in the toilet?

Answer by  harmonyrn (31)

Whether your poop floats or not heavily (no pun intended) depends on your diet. A high fiber, low fat diet is usually considered healthier and may lead to more frequently floating stool. However a healthy individual doesn't need to worry whether their poop sinks or floats.

Yes. Your bowel movements should float. That indicates that you have sufficient fiber in your diet and that you are able to empty all the waste from your intestines. You should worry when it is dense and hard and is difficult to push out and drops into the toliet water with a splash.
