The complete health status can be known by getting the stool test done in the laboratory, but you can also make an estimate yourself from some indications received from the texture of the stool. 

Decode the messages your stools are sending: You must have often noticed that when people go to the doctor after falling ill, apart from other things, they definitely ask how your stool was. That is, the stomach has a deep connection with health. In case of a disease, stool test is often recommended. Have you ever wondered why this happens, what is the real reason behind it?

Types of stool and the diseases associated with them

India's famous nutritionist Nupur Patil shared a post on her Instagram account and said, "From solid like pebbles to smooth, soft stools, it is your body's way of indicating how well your intestines are working." Let's understand how to find out the state of health through potty.

1. Separate Hard Lump

If your poop looks like rabbit poop, you're constipated and a lack of fibre or hydration could be the culprit

2. Sausage-Like but Lumpy

This is a little closer to ideal stool, but these lumps indicate that your transit time may be slow. 

3. Sausage-Like with Cracks

This is what a banana looks like - smooth, yet with some natural cracks. This is the Goldilocks zone. It means your digestion is just right.

4. Smooth and Soft, Like a Sausage or Snake

Nutritionist Nupur Patil believes that if your stool is coming out like this, then it is a good thing because this should be our target.

5. Soft Blobs with Clear Edges

This is a little more mild, it could be that your body is telling you to cut down on certain foods. Eat less of things that can upset your stomach, like fried foods.

6. Fluffy Pieces with Ragged Edges, a Mushy Stool

This sounds like your system is in overdrive. It could be a sign of inflammation or food sensitivity. So it's time to do a stool test.

7. Entirely Liquid

Liquid stools mean you have diarrhea. Diarrhea often indicates poor absorption or irritation of the stomach lining. It can be caused by food sensitivities, infection or stress. Eliminate common irritants like gluten, dairy and processed foods and focus on gentle and nutritious options like white rice, bananas and steamed vegetables.
