Sorry if it seems like a stupid question...I've just been having some digestive issues over the past few months, and since I started really buckling down with our dinners(No pasta,potatoes or bread only veggies)I haven't been having problems, and noticed my poo's were....better looking? and was wondering if the two really were connected like I had heard.

If you "go" and you can clear the house with the smell or have to use major effort..then you arent getting enough fiber. And YES eating properly,whole grains/veg/fruit etc will show up pretty much everywhere in your life..your skin,your energy levels and even your poo

Now I can't stop thinking about your take on "poo". I still think you are quite the looker but the poo talk has shaken me up a bit LOL! I'm sure the feeling will pass (pun intended)in time.
asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/02/28, 09:10 AM i don't think that floating is a sign of healthy diet - from what I have read, floating indicates a lot of fat in the 'poo'. Or a lot of spinach. This whole subject is...ummm. poo-ey. ============ Quoting from mysticgraces: If you are eating right,your poo should be a mid brown in colour,float,and not reek up the whole house...

Sometimes the gases produced by bacteria in our gut don't have a chance to collect into a large fart bubble, but remain dispersed in the feces. The poop then comes out foamy, and has a lower density than water.

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/03/03, 08:49 AM Sorry, mojo. We are forced into the observation of poo by motherhood - no getting around it. I don't, however, spend as much time studying it as some, I think. I just know about that website because we found it when doing a google search to try and figure out why our dogs eat poo.
