CDHF – Is my Poop Healthy/Normal?


Is Your Poop Healthy and or Normal? Here’s Why It Matters (and How Faex Health Can Help You Find Out!)

Let’s talk about something we all do, but rarely discuss—poop. It might not be the most glamorous topic, but your stool holds valuable clues about your health. The article from CDHF (Canadian Digestive Health Foundation) dives into what makes poop “normal,” why consistency, color, and frequency matter, and how changes could signal important health shifts.

From the classic “sausage-shaped” stool to unexpected surprises in the bowl, your gut is constantly giving feedback. But how do you know if that feedback is good, bad, or just weird? That’s where Faex Health comes in.

Key Takeaways from the Article:

  • Shape and Texture: Healthy poop is smooth and well-formed, resembling soft logs. Anything too hard, lumpy, or loose could mean dehydration, dietary imbalances, or underlying issues.
  • Color Matters: While brown is the gold standard, red, green, black, or pale shades might hint at bleeding, bile issues, or infections.
  • Frequency: Everyone’s bathroom schedule is different, but less than three times a week (or more than three times a day) could mean trouble.
  • Listen to the Smell: Unpleasant odors are normal, but drastic changes might signal malabsorption or infections.
