The Scoop on Your Poop: What It’s Telling You About Your Health
Your poop might not seem like the most exciting health metric, but it’s one of the best ways to gauge what’s happening inside your body. According to Northwestern Medicine, stool offers a wealth of information about your digestive health—if you know what to look for.
Northwestern Medicine describes the ideal stool should be smooth, sausage-shaped, and easy to pass. Anything outside this can indicate potential issues. Hard, pebble-like stools may point to constipation, often caused by dehydration or low fiber intake. Loose, watery stools might signal an infection, food intolerance, or other digestive issues. Even the color of your poop holds clues: while brown is healthy, red, black, or pale stool could indicate bleeding, bile duct problems, or liver issues.
