Healthy stool typically sinks—thanks to its dense, fiber-rich composition—while occasional floaters might just mean extra gas from last night’s beans. But if your toilet bowl regularly resembles a buoy convention, it could signal malabsorption, IBS, or other gut quirks worth investigating.
Color, Shape & Smell: Your Poop’s Secret Language
- Ideal poop: Dark brown, log-shaped, and earthy-smelling (yes, it’s still poop—it won’t smell like roses).
- Red flags: Clay-colored (possible bile issues), red streaks (could indicate bleeding), or greasy floaters with a foul odor (hinting at malabsorption). Even oddly narrow or pebble-like poop whispers clues about fiber intake or hydration.
