The #1 Way to Achieve Healthier Poops Today

Are you looking for a way to poop better today? We can help you do that, but first, let’s discuss what a healthy bowel movement is.

A healthy bowel movement is one in which the poop is connected in a smooth “S” shape, like a snake.1  This S-shaped stool is easy to push out completely. It is neither too hard nor too soft and runny. Expelling leaves you feeling clean and satisfied.

Doctors can tell whether your bowel movements are normal or abnormal by asking you to point to your typical poop on the Bristol Stool Chart.

The Bristol Stool Chart – Assessing the health of your bowel movements

The Bristol Stool Chart was developed in 1997 to help doctors classify 7 types of bowel movements so that they can recommend solutions.2

An illustration of the Bristol Stool Chart categorizing different shapes and consistencies of stool. Explanatory text is below.

The chart lists 7 different types of poop.

  • Type 1: Separate hard lumps (very constipated)
  • Type 2: Lumpy and sausage-like (slightly constipated)
  • Type 3: A sausage shape with cracks in the surface (normal)
  • Type 4: Like a smooth soft sausage or snake (normal)
  • Type 5: Soft blobs with clear-cut edges (lacking fiber)
  • Type 6: Mushy consistency with ragged edges (inflammation)
  • Type 7: Liquid consistency with no solid pieces (inflammation and diarrhea)

Types 3-5 are considered normal, while types 1-2 (indicating constipation) and types 6-7 (indicating diarrhea) are considered “abnormal” poops.

The secret to less gas, less bloating, and better poops

How can you get your poop to reach #4 on the Bristol Stool Chart? The secret is to eat more fibrous foods, especially veggies, and hydrating liquids.3  This adds bulk to your stool, keeping it moving through your colon.

But fiber does something else. When it reaches your lower colon, it is digested (fermented) by bacteria. (This fermentation process causes the gas and bloating that typically occur after eating fiber.) After your gut bacteria digests the fiber, they excrete short-chain fatty acids.

These short-chain fatty acids, butyrate in particular, help fix leaky gut and other digestive problems.5  In other words, the reason for eating more fiber is to give your gut short-chain fatty acids so that you can experience more pleasant bowel movements! There is a gassy trade-off, though.

Now you can bypass all that gas and bloating AND enjoy better poops with this BREAKTHROUGH “stinky” patented nutrient that thousands of AMAZED and satisfied users are talking about! Take postbiotics first thing every morning, and let them do their job of healing your gut issues. How easy is that?!!!
