What Your Poop Shape Says About You (Yes, Really)
Did you know there’s an actual chart for classifying poop? It’s called the Bristol Stool Chart, and it’s the ultimate cheat sheet for decoding your digestive health. This chart breaks down stool into seven types, ranging from hard pellets (hello, constipation!) to watery diarrhea. Ideally, you want something in the middle—smooth, sausage-like, and easy to pass.
But why does this matter? According to Health.com, your stool’s shape and texture can reveal everything from dehydration to how well your gut is processing food. Type 1 or 2? You might need more fiber and water. Type 6 or 7? Your gut could be moving things along too fast.
Here’s the thing—checking your stool consistency regularly is crucial, but who’s got the time (or desire) to analyze every bathroom trip? That’s where Faex Health changes the game. Just snap a quick picture, and Faex Health will match your stool to the Bristol Chart, giving you instant insights into your gut health. No guesswork. No awkward charts taped to your bathroom wall.
Your gut is talking. Faex Health makes sure you’re listening.
