What Your Poop Says About Your Health

It's embarrassing to talk about poop, particularly if you're not in the habit of sitting on the toilet every morning and evening—but it can also be informative. Your poop reveals a great deal about your health and how well you're digesting certain foods. And that means that if your poop is anything other than regular and healthy, then there may be something wrong with how your body is working. So let's take a look at some signs your poop is saying about your health.

Larger piles of poop indicate a healthy digestive system

The size of your poop is related to how much fiber you eat and how healthy your digestive system is. The more fiber in your diet, the larger the poops will be (and vice versa). The best way to improve digestive health is by increasing intake of whole grains like oats, barley or quinoa over time—not overnight!

Something may be amiss when you poop less

If you're pooping less than once a day, it could be a sign of constipation. Constipation is when your body doesn't have enough fiber in your diet and cannot move waste through the colon fast enough.

To keep your digestive system healthy and functioning properly it needs to be strong. Luckily, fiber helps with this process by keeping things moving along smoothly through your stomach and small intestine. If you have constipation problems then adding more fiber into your diet may be all you need to get things back on track again! Eating high-fiber cereals like Poop Like A Champion Honey Ultra Fiber Cereal is a good way to meet your daily fiber needs.

Being gassy means there may have an imbalance in your gut bacteria

You know what it is, right? Gas. It's a byproduct of digestion. If you're getting lots of gas after eating, it could mean that your body isn't digesting all of this extra nutrition properly—and if there's under-digestion from too much fiber consumed, then there will likely be more flatulence as well!

But why does this happen? Well, first off: bacteria love to live in our digestive systems because they help us break down food so we can absorb nutrients (and therefore stay healthy). 

Eating prebiotic-rich foods can help solve this problem. Made with prebiotic formula, Apple Cider Vinegar Fiber Gummies promotes healthy gut bacteria that keep your digestive system healthy and you gas-free.

If your poops are small and hard, it may mean you have a problem absorbing nutrients

Small and hard poops could be a sign of malabsorption. This occurs when food isn't absorbed properly into your body due to an underlying condition such as celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, which cause inflammation in the small intestine.

Other causes may include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis and other digestive disorders like Crohn's Disease, which are common conditions that affect millions of Americans worldwide.

Soft or runny poop can be a sign that your body isn't digesting food properly.

If you're noticing that your poop is soft and runny, it could be a sign that your body isn't digesting food properly. Digestive disorders are common and can cause many different symptoms from bloating to constipation. If this is something that concerns you, talk with a doctor about what steps you should take to get things back to normal.

Your poop is a big deal. It may not seem like it, but it can tell you about your health in a lot of ways. If your poop isn't the way it should be, pay your doctor a visit as soon as possible.
