Feces contains water, indigestible fiber, undigested food, sloughed off intestinal cells,
living and dead bacteria, bile, and worn out red blood cells. A normal stool should be
brown to light brown, formed but not hard or too soft, cylindrical but not flattened on any
side, fairly bulky and full bodied but not compact, easy to pass, and it shouldn’t have an
extremely foul smell. Each bowel movement should be in one piece, about the size and
shape of a banana being tapered at the end. Sometimes this will not be discernable if the
feces breaks up in the toilet. Some people feel that if the body is absorbing all the
minerals from the food that the stool will float. Others believe that the stool should sink.
I think the important thing is that there are no air bubbles in the stool and that it doesn’t
drop like a brick in the toilet. It should be somewhere in between.
An occasional deviation from this pattern is acceptable. Any chronic deviation from the
above pattern is not healthy and should be dealt with.
It’s amazing how many people don’t even look at their stools in the toilet. It’s so
important. Stools can reveal a lot about your health if you learn to read them. Digestion
happens. It’s a shame that few of us are unable to talk about them without
embarrassment. For instance:
· Air or bubbles in the stool can mean that we have a gut or flora imbalance and that
gas producing bacteria are overgrown and competing with the healthier flora.
· Alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation can be cause by irritable bowel
syndrome, food allergies, red meat, spices, sugar, alcohol, stress, lack of fiber, irregular
bowel habits.
· Color: Stools are usually the color of the food.
· Constipation can occur leading to impaction--the presence in the rectum of a mass
of feces too large to pass. Fecal impaction is usually the result of poor bowel habits, a
diet with too little liquid and roughage, too much protein and inadequate physical activity.
· Diarrhea, whether acute or chronic, can disrupt the bowel's normal rhythm and lead
to irregularity. It can mean that your large intestine is not functioning properly. The large
intestine is in charge of removing excess water from the feces. Rule outs can include
food poisoning, lactose intolerance, anxiety, stress, too many antacids, antibiotics,
parasites like Giardia or Coccidia, Balantidia, Coccidoidiomycosis or other parasites,
viruses, bacterial overgrowth, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
A healthy bowel will take about a quart and a half and condense it down to 1 cup of stool.
That’s pretty amazing.
· Frank red blood (obvious bright red bleeding) can be a sign of hemorrhoids, colitis,
Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer or be caused from impacted
stools passing through the rectum telling us we need to drink more water.
· Horrible smelling stools—too much protein, flora imbalance.
· If the stools are black, tarry and sticky (called melena), this can mean that there is
bleeding from the small intestine. These types of stools usually have a distinctive bad
odor. If you’ve ever smelled a dog with Parvo, corona or rotavirus, you know what I mean.
· Light green stools—Too much sugar, fruits or vegetables and not enough grains or
salt (or in the case of animals, too much grass)Mucous can reveal diverticulitis and gut
inflammation due to allergies or parasites.
· Oily or greasy looking stools that usually float and can be large can mean that your
pancreas or small intestine are not functioning well enough and not releasing enough
digestive enzymes. Normal stools are about 1% fat. When this percentage increases to
about 7%, the stool will look oily and greasy. This is called steatorrhea. High fat meals can
cause this to happen but should be temporary.
· Pale or clay colored stools can mean that your gallbladder or liver is not working
correctly.
· Pencil thin or ribbon-like stools can mean you have a polyp or growth on the inside of
the colon or rectum.
· Presence of food: If the stool breaks up easily and you can see bits and pieces of the
food you ate, maybe you are not chewing your food thoroughly enough. This can cause
GERD, acid reflux, abdominal bloating and diarrhea.
· Red or magenta stools-- ingestion of beets.
· Very dark stools: Too much red wine, too much salt in the diet, not enough
vegetables. Blueberries, Pepto Bismol (the bismuth in it) and iron pills can also be
responsible for dark stools.
Normal bowel habits not only improve the quality of life, they help prevent several
common diseases--for example, diverticulitis and fecal impaction. Gall stones,
appendicitis, colon cancer, hiatal hernia, diabetes, and heart disease have also been
related to the quality of bowel movements and the foods that affect them.
Number of bowel movements:
Healthy bowel activity is considered one or two movements of moderate size every
day. Every other day or once or twice a week bowel movements can harm you because
the bowel contents release toxins back into the body through the mucous membranes.
You’ve got to keep that waste moving!
Fecal incontinence (uncontrollable diarrhea) should be dealt with by a professional.
Often with this particular symptom (and irritable bowel syndrome) I will pick up a bowel
parasite.
Healthy Bowel Habits:
There is usually a time of day when bowel movements are more likely to occur. In
anticipation of this time, the patient should participate in activities that stimulate a
normal bowel movement. It is also important for the patient to recognize the urge to
defecate and to respond right away to that urge. The longer stool sits in the rectum, the
more water the rectum will absorb from it, making it harder and more difficult to pass.
The urge to defecate is often strongest in the morning: Just getting up triggers the
movement of the large intestine. The stomach also sends a signal when it expands after
a meal. This gastrocolic reflex is the reason many people, and especially children, need
to go to the bathroom soon after eating. The reflex gets weaker with age, which is one
source of constipation problems and the reason why good and consistent bowel habits
are helpful.
Laxatives:
Some patients are so convinced they need daily laxatives that they are afraid to do
without them. It takes time for a changed diet to affect the bowels and for the bowel to
regain its normal rhythm. Be patient. Colonics are a better solution.
Healthy bowel movements require ingestion of a large amount of liquids and bulk
foods. The patient should drink two to three quarts of liquids every day. Bulk comes from
unrefined foods. Oat bran, wheat bran, brown rice, green vegetables, apples, and pears
are a few examples of high residue, high fiber foods.
Intestinal Good Bacteria Replacement :
Inside a healthy lower intestine are billions of beneficial intestinal bacteria or
microflora. These bacteria are of the Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bifidus
strains and were transferred by breast-feeding into our intestines as newborn infants.
The body uses L. acidophilus and L. bifidus in the final stages of digestion reproducing
themselves as necessary to keep in total harmony with the body.
When the good bacteria can’t keep up, bad bacteria overpopulate the gut to give a gut
flora imbalance resulting in lower bowel diseases, gas, diarrhea, IBS, and Crohn’s. The
devitalizing effect caused by harmful bacteria in the intestine is rarely diagnosed near
the beginning of this imbalance. Headaches, skin infections, weakness and constipation
can also be symptoms of depleted intestinal bacteria.
What Causes A Gut Flora Imbalance?
· Toxins, especially drugs such as antibiotics and narcotics
· Severe diarrhea can damage or destroy these beneficial bacteria, allowing harmful
bacteria to take over producing by-products like ammonia, purines and ethionine, which
can eventually cause colon cancer.
· Fasting can also deplete the beneficial bacteria because large quantities of toxins
are dumped from the lymph glands into the colon at the time of the fast.
· Also during a fast, with certain diets and with eating disorders, there is an absence of
foods that the good bacteria thrive on.
· Using enemas also depletes the beneficial bacteria, especially if chlorinated water is
used.
To reestablish intestinal bacteria, have Rectal Implants done by a natural healthcare
professional. These products should be stored and purchased refrigerated. Off-the-
shelf products are not so effective for replacing gut flora. This procedure will ensure
that a healthy culture will propagate within the intestines.
FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) are also good for reestablishing gut flora. These are
long-chain sugars that feed friendly flora. You can purchase this in concentrated pill
form or eat lots of apples, Jerusalem artichokes, or pears. These foods have high
amounts of FOS in them

| F.A.Q. About Feces:S |
| How to Analyze Your Stools: Type 1: Stools appear in separate, hard lumps, similar to nuts. Type 1 stools remained in the colon the longest amount of time; a sure sign you’re constipated; most common stools. Type 2: Stools are sausage-like in appearance but lumpy. Indicate toxic constipation and need for intestinal cleansing Type 3 (Normal): Stools come out similar to a sausage but with cracks in the surface. Type 4 (Normal): Stools are smooth and soft in the form of a sausage or snake. Type 5: Stools form soft blobs with clear-cut edges, and easily pass through the digestive system. Soft diarrhea, it may indicate a possible risk for bowel disease; also indicate you are toxic and need regular intestinal cleansing. Type 6: Stools have fluffy pieces with ragged edges. Considered mushy stools, they indicate diarrhea; and that you are toxic and need regular intestinal cleansing. Type 7: Stool is mostly liquid with no solid pieces. Passed quickly through the colon; is indicative of severe diarrhea possibly as a result of a viral or bacterial infection. |
| Experiencing Types 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 or 8 for longer than a month may indicate that you need Colon Irrigation Therapy. |
