Bristol Stool Form Scale divides stools into seven distinct types, size, shape, color.

Dry with hard lumps or clumps. When transit time is too long, one may be extremely constipated. Usually caused by a lack of fluids, lack of friendly bacteria, essential oils, stress, excess mucosa, and not enough good fiber. Avoid alcohol, baking soda, and all products with refined white flour, sugar, white rice and yeast.

Like lumpy sausage.

Like sausage with surface cracks.

Long smooth surface. Normal, good color, quick exit, and easy to clean.

Blobs with well-defined margins.

Fluffy with ragged edges.

Watery with no solids. Diarrhea is usually caused by a bacterial or virus infection from foods or water. It can also be caused from anxiety, food allergy, drugs, or problems in the colon. This is a sign that something is wrong and the bodies are trying to clean.

Drink extra water with vitamin C and electrolytes added to avoid dehydration. If it continues for too long, colonic irrigation should end it.

Size and shape of the stool indicate the transit time through the digestive tract. The color can tell you how well your digestion is and alert you to other changes concerning your wellness.

Lighter in color (pale) may indicate blockage in the bile duct or deficiency in producing bile (digestive aid). Because of the high fat content, stool may be foul smelling and sticky like clay making it difficult to flush. This is usually the result of bad absorption.

Blood (red) in the stool is a good indication of colon disease, internal hemorrhoids, or parasites. Eating beets will add color to stools and urine and be used as an indication of transit time.

Dark stools are usually from a diet of dark greens, iron supplements, or meat.

Black stools may indicate bleeding in the stomach or smaller intestine caused from an injury, bleeding ulcer, tumor, or worms.

Slimy stools contain excess mucus caused by bacteria, Candida, tumor, or other problems in the colon.

During the first phase of home colonic irrigation, the old stagnant waste coming out may appear in two types. The putrefactive waste has a very bad odor. The post-putrefactive waste cannot putrefy any further. The color ranges from black, dark brown, gray, or green with a little odor.

Healthy stool is long, round, and smooth with a texture similar to creamy peanut butter and golden brown in color. It should be slightly acidic so it floats on the surface of water breaking up soon afterwards.

Colon pH becomes slightly acidic, it promotes the growth of friendly bacteria. The balance is thrown off when it gets too alkaline, creating an environment that only the bad can survive. Normal stools and bowel function return soon after.
