Floating stool

Asked for Male, 55 years

I noticed floating stools for 2 months. Consistency is solid with somewhat limited quantity and I have constipation 70% of the time. It is soft, but not loose. My stomach is quite noisy right after eating or drinking. I have no weight loss or pain.I eat low-carb most of the time. I recently had a checkup. My doctor said this is usually caused by excess gas and did not give it a second thought. Should I ask for more tests? My father died at 52 from pancreatic cancer. Can it be related?

Dear Patient,

The noisy stomach indeed is something vague and nonsignificant. However, given your past family history, there is no harm in consulting a good oncologist for some “screening tests' which can rule out the presence of any serious disease or its symptoms. Screening is a common practice in first world countries.
Not having weight loss and pain are good signs but given your age, you could meet with an oncologist and hear from him how to address your symptoms.
