If it continues it could be the result of a malabsorption. I think the term is steaorhea, not sure of the spelling. Usually they are paler and can float. It can be from many things including celiac disease. Or it could be nothing, but it might be a good idea to try a blander diet for awhile and see if that helps.

Hi there,

Without any other sypmtoms, I wouldn't worry much. Especially if you are under 50 yrs. Probably is just your diet.
