Sometimes soaking food a short time before adding to the tank helps.
Is it a balloon type?

They are known to commonly have bouyancy issues, and prone to swim bladder infections.
How often are you doing water changes?
if not frequent enough, or large enough, it could be that water quality not good enough to keep the fish's immune system from working in top form.
