The story
I often have undigested food in stool, sometimes clay colored and floating, but other times it sinks and is darker. Sometimes stool is one solid chunk, other times it is several small thin, lighter pieces. I sometimes have rumbling in my intestines/stomach all night. Bloating is not as bad as it has been in the past, but still sometimes occurs. I took xafaxin 6 months ago for methane sibo, but not really sure if it helped. The bloating has at least seemed less. I've thought low stomach acid might be my cause. I've considered trying magnesium supplements. Not sure how to address to acid though.
