10 Things Your Poo Can Tell You About Your Health

What can your poo tell you about your health — and when should stool changes be checked by a doctor?

Bowel movements provide important clues about digestive health, gut function, infection, and possible bleeding. In this episode, we explain how stool colour, shape, and frequency are medically assessed across Europe and which changes require further investigation.

You’ll learn:

• What “normal” stool looks like using the Bristol Stool Chart classification

• What stool colours can indicate: brown (typical), green (rapid transit or diet), black (possible upper GI bleeding), pale/clay (bile duct issues), red (possible lower GI bleeding)

• What persistent diarrhoea or constipation may signal about gut motility

• The significance of mucus, floating stool, or unusually foul odour

• When symptoms may suggest infection, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Red flag signs: blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, iron deficiency anaemia, severe abdominal pain, or new bowel changes after age 50

• When stool tests, blood work, or colon investigation may be recommended after clinical review

We also discuss diet, fibre balance, hydration, and when short-term changes are harmless.
