What do your poops say about you? This may sound like a joke, but you can actually learn a lot about your health from your daily doo.
In this video, I’ll give you the full scoop… on what is and isn’t a good poop.
Has your doctor ever asked you about your poop? Did your parents tell you what to look for? Didn't think so. But Mama Natural is going there.
Hippocrates says that all disease begins in the gut. SO we wanna be sure that what’s coming out of the gut looks good.
There are three main things to look for
1 Frequency
2 Form
3 Color
I’ll cover them all here.
1. Frequency
It's best to have at least one complete bowel movement a day. You should feel like your bowels have emptied rather than just partially eliminated.
Some people go 2-3 times a day. This can be because of faster metabolisms, more robust good bacteria, or the quantity of food they eat.
If you are eliminating more than 3 times a day, you are entering into the world of diarrhea which I will address next.
Some people will say if you go every couple of days it's fine, but I disagree. This one of our body's greatest ways to eliminate toxins, acids and other stuff, so it's best to do daily.
2. Form
This is important, and it isn't talked about often.
We want to be sure our poops are well formed. This ensures we've digested and assimilated the nutrients from our food, and are eliminating acids and toxins properly.
Watch the video for a handy reference called the Bristol chart.
Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like little balls (hard to pass)
Type 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
Type 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
Type 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft
Type 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily)
Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
Type 7: Watery, no solid pieces. Entirely liquid
Can you guess where you want to be on the chart?
If you said #4, you’re right!
See the full text on my blog: www.mamanatural.com/great-poop...
So what's next?
Now that you know what a good poop looks like, let’s talk about HOW to have a good poop. Click here to view my my companion video: • How to Have A Great Poop

Thank you for your video. Turns out I didn't tell my Dr. about my severe constipation, which I had for 10 years. When I told my Dr. she saw I had abdominal distentenion. She immediately sent me for a scan. I went to the G.I.Dr. and was sent to the E.R. My intestine was twisted. I underwent bowel resection. Thank God for the Dr's . I hope the readers take care so this never happens. Thank God I didn't need a colostomy bag.

What if you do line up with type 4, for the most part, but you have noticed that it's flatter. NOT COMPLETELY FLAT. There's still substance and depth to it....and nothing pencil thin. Just flatter to an extent. I have been on pantoprazole for heartburn and I've read this can change the form of your poop, perhaps. I do have a gastro MD appointment soon, but wondered if you have any thoughts. I hate thinking that a flattening is something horrible. I've heard it can be for some people, but I know irritable bowel syndrome can also do it. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much

[@mamanatural]

Since we aren't doctors here at MamaNatural, it's really impossible for us to give advice or input on something so specific. So glad you have an appointment with your gastro MD soon! I hope they are able to get you the answers you're looking for!

After i add lots of yoghurt and kefir into my diet. my poop changed color to yellow. Used to be brownish Do you think I should eliminate yoghurt and kefir from my diet? But I think I feel quit good after my diet change, I sleep now better. thanks

[@mamanatural]

Yogurt and kefir can only help balance healthy gut bacteria, so it may just be that your body is adjusting to the increase in healthy gut flora!

[@nicholewojtanowski43]

@@RyanREAX So, because you didn’t get caught right away, then you should be allowed to take other peoples work as your own w/zero responsibility for your plagiarism? Posting and (possibly) making money off of someone else’s work is not acceptable, period. It’s irrelevant how long it took to “catch you”. If you wanted to “spread” the helpful info you could have just shared the original video but, being that it seems that profit may have been your main goal, you uploaded it as your own and now (with this comment) you are attempting to make the creator into the “bad guy” when it’s actually you who is in the wrong.

I've been sick for the past several weeks now since the year started... My poops used to range from 2,3,4, abd that was about a little over a month ago... and all of a sudden a little over a month has passed and my poops are all looking like 5, 6 and watery like number 7... But it's mainly 6... I need help!! I've been to the doctor four times already in the past few weeks, and have done a stool analysis test to see if it was parasites... but the test showed no White Blood Cells in my stool, so I guess that means no parasites... But something is not right... I've lost 20Ibs over the past several weeks being at 160Ibs, and now I'm down to 140Ibs/139Ibs... I have to sign up for Medi-Cal to because while I've been to a local hospital over the past few weeks I don't have a primary care doctor.
