Ever wondered what your POO colour has to do with your health? What about its consistency?
I think the title says it all.
After watching this video it’s very likely you’re going to look into the toilet bowl before flushing! Your poo can really be helpful!. First, we start with the colours!, red, green, black etc. It could simply spell a healthy diet and gut bacteria or it could be cancer! It could be haemorrhoids, it could be Inflammatory Bowel Disease and everything in between!.
Then we move on to consistency. Yes, is it soft? hard? watery? does it float? and does it smell far worse than the usual poo? All answers to these can be very informative and diagnosis range from normal to malabsorption to inflammatory bowel disease to polyps and cancers and everything in between (more in the video).
If you take nothing else from this video, the most important to hold on to is that if there has been any change to your bowel habit which means a change from your normal (which can be different from other people) then never ignore it and better, go see a gastroenterologist as it may not be something you want to miss!.
Enjoy the video and as always, get in touch if you have any questions and SHARE it along! You never know who it may help.
Two other videos linked to this topic that we have done include one on Intermittent fasting and the other being a Bernama TV interview on the Brain-Gut Link!
