The majority of people go to the bathroom, do their business and that is that. But it would actually be better for many people if they check up at what they are leaving behind – or flushing, because it can give us a clear insight into our health. Knowing this can save your life.
1.    WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT?
When you poop, the little brown blob in your toilet is what is left of the food after your body has absorbed all the nutrients from it.
Pooping is crucial for your health, because it is your body’s natural way of expelling the waste that does not need. The look and the smell of the poop can give you clues to what is happening inside your body.
2.    TEXTURES OF POOP
- Separate hard lumps, like nuts
You should drink more water and eat some fruits and vegetables. You are lacking fibre and fluids.
- Sausage-shaped, smooth and soft
This is a sign that you are doing fine
- Watery, no solid pieces, all liquid
This is a case of diarrhea. It is probably caused by some sort of infection. You should drink more liquids in order to replace the liquids lost, or if you do not do this you may find yourself dehydrated.
- Sausage- shaped but lumpy
It is not serious, but you should load up on fluids and fibre.
- Soft blobs with clear-cut edges
This is normal if you are pooping multiple times a day.
- Sausage-shaped but with cracks on surface
Well, this is normal, but the cracks indicate that you should still up your intake of water.
- Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool
This type of poop is on the edge of normal, it is on its way to become diarrhea.
- Soft and sticks to the side of the toilet bowl
Your body is not absorbing the fats properly, because of the presence of too much oil. Your body cannot properly absorb that because of chronic pancreatic.
