The effects of lorazepam (agitation reducer/sleep inducer, muscle relaxant, anxiety reducer, inhibitor of new memory formation) may be considered as adverse or side effects if unwanted.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Grainy, sandy looking stools may be caused by a number of issues. If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Crohn's disease, it may be those diseases causing your malformed stools. Other issues are too much fiber, infections, fatty foods, and more.
Increased levels of nutrients in the stool (those not absorbed by the GI tract) are supplied to the normal bacteria that live in the gut, which in turn produce more gas. This results in more air/gas-rich stool that floats. Dietary changes, diarrhea, and malabsorption can cause floating stools.
