Knowing what to look for in the toilet bowl, may just save your life!
Use our ‘Poo Checker’, based on the ‘Bristol Stool Form Scale’ to help you keep a record of your bowel movements if you are concerned.
Type 3 & 4 are what to look for most of the time.
If you record Type 1,2,5,6 or 7 on a regular basis, talk to your doctor.
Your doctor can advise you as to whether you need to investigate further or perhaps just add more water or fibre to your diet.
Our dietitians are experts in gut health and can assist you if your doctor thinks diet is involved.

THE GUT FRIENDLY FIBRE GUIDE
An evidence-based guide for women to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse
If eating more fibre has ever left you feeling worse, fibre probably wasn’t the problem. More likely, your gut just needed you to go slower.Â
This guide is based on the approach I use with women who want to eat more fibre without making their gut feel worse. We start with where you are now, then build from there slowly enough that your gut can keep up.
It’s food-first, weight-neutral and evidence-based, created by me and my team of Accredited Practising Dietitians.
