Your Morning Poop Guide
STRANGE 
Tags: health, poop, shit, crap, guide, toilet, bathroom, guide
Your morning poo can tell you a lot about your health. This is the Bristol Stool Scale. The Bristol Stool Chart is a medical aid designed to classify the faeces form into seven groups. It was developed by Heaton and Lewis at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in 1997. The form of the stool depends on the time it spends in the colon. The seven types of stool are:
| 1. | Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass) - indicate constipation |
| 2. | Sausage-shaped but lumpy - indicate constipation |
| 3. | Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface - preferred types of stools as they are the easiest to pass |
| 4. | Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft. - preferred types of stools as they are the easiest to pass |
| 5. | Soft blobs with clear cut edges (easily passed) - symptomatic of diarrhoea |
| 6. | Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool - symptomatic of diarrhoea |
| 7. | Watery, no solid pieces entirely liquid - may be a sign of cholera, food poisoning, etc |
