Floating/Sinking BM

I have a question regarding BM's. I tend to have IBS-C and my BM's will be broken up. The vast majority of the time, they tend to float. This happens with or without the presence of gas throughout that day. Occasionally, during the same BM, if they are broken up, some will float and some will sink. Does this have any significance? I also have Fructose Malabsorption, and have read conflicting articles on what it means when a BM floats. Has anyone looked into this? Does it even matter?
