This is What The Color and Smell of Your Poop Is Telling You About Your Health
What your poop should look like
The perfect poop is consisted of water (75 %) and solid matter (25%). The solid matter contains : dead bacteria, cholesterol, indigestible food matter, and other fatty substances.
The appearance of your poop varies from what you have eaten or drunk. The poop usually takes 18 to 72 hours to be created from processing and digesting the food. When you have diarrhea it means that your intestines didn’t extract as much water as they normally should and the poop is processed too quickly. Longer than 72 hours to process is an indication of constipation and can be a symptom of othr problems.
Stool type 1 – Small, hard lumpy stools
This type of stool is an indication of inflammation of the small intestine. These lumps of poop are small, solid, and abrasive, normally being anywhere from 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Because they are solid and somewhat scratchy, they can be quite painful to pass. It can sometimes result in anal bleeding.
Stool type 2 – Sausage shaped stools with a cracked surface
This type of stool is an indication of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
Stool type 3 – Sausage shaped stools with lumps
This type is similar to type 2 and is actually a quantity of type 1 stool consisted into one stool. They are result of constipation which has remained in the intestinal track for several weeks. It is painful and difficult to pass. This type of stool is a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome.
