Question: Can you really determine health conditions by the appearance of your bowel movements.?
my doctor told me that you could determine what may be wrong with you (if anything) by the length, color or shape of your bowel movements. and whether or not they tend to be solid or loose.

anyone know anything regarding this.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
This is true for certain health conditions - and can also tell you something about your diet. A dark stool can indicate illnesses like appendicitis, people who eat too much fat will often have stool which floats, and people with loose stools may have a parasite etc. There's a lot which can be ascertained.
