Wouldn’t the…residue be covered with toilet paper? Or were they that girthy?
Before I had my daughter I used to be a 2-3 about 3 to 4 times a week. I don’t know what she knocked loose there, but ever since she was born I’ve been a regular, daily to twice-a-day 3 to 5. The vast majority of time it’s a 4.
I love that kid.
None of the above. I poop in neat mounds formed by a long, unbroken coil of fecal matter, just like in the comics. I top them off with a little twist, like a Dairy Queen custard. They also have visible water vapor rising from them. I also never have to use paper.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I’m all over the map. I shit in all seven styles, plus a few that aren’t on there. I’m not sure whether I should be proud or worried about the eclecticism of my shit.
Okay, but stick with telling her THAT you love her, and leave out the WHY. 
I also thought the Bristol scale lacked breadth. Would have guessed at least 15 types based on personal experience. No blood though.
I just want everyone to know that I was a 5 this morning. Twice.
The link in the OP is chilhoodconstipation.com. I have to ask you Doper parents: do you regularly look at your kids’ poop?
3s and 4s most of the time with an occasional 5 just for varities sake.
Yeah for oatmeal for breakfast.
A cross-sectional slice (like taffy candy?) or longitudinally (like a snake?).
Yeah same here. Hell back in college waking up after after an all weekend beer and barbecue party I would have 8 or 9 forms in one session, from ass-tea through fudge right up to hard balls.
Every day. She’s 2 years old. I’d love to have a database filled with my kid’s bathroom data. When she stays at Grandma’s, then next two days, she’s a Type 1 or a Type 7. It depends on how much cheese she ate vs. how unsafely the food was handled (or it might be the number of grapes she ate… Mom is dodgy on details). When she has a Type 1, she tells me, “I need more fruits and vegetables.”
Absolutely! You need to know how things are working inside.
between Dr. Kellogg and the patient in “The Road to Wellville”:
-Dr. Kellogg : “Your stools are small and foul smelling…due to your consumption of meat. MINE are large and full-formed, and smell like fresh-baked bread.”
When do you stop looking?
Yeah, I’m curious about this myself.
Typically 3 or 4… But if I eat a LOT of food right before I go to bed, I usually end up with some 6 in the morning.
By the way, is there any further information/explanation on these types? What does it mean when I do indeed have a 6er come out of me?
Why stop? Individuals who pay at least some attention to both their intake and output tend to be healthier than those who don’t. The body gives a person useful information. Dark, tea colored urine, bloody urine, black or mahogany stools, blood-covered stools, thin & string-like stools all give signs that something may need investigating.
Of course, these habits may be taken to unhealthy extremes.
Well…I meant at your kid’s poop.
I guess the thought of looking down there is just too much to take. Also I’m usually in a hurry. Like for urine. Why bother?
