The bowel movement
What is your poo telling you about your health? It's the burning question that has everybody's head in the toilet these days.
By Leslie Crawford [2008-03-12]

  • German habits

    When I was stationed in Germany, I noticed that their toilets had a platform where feces landed. Apparently examining the stool is normal there, so they built their toilets to allow people to do this. When they are flushed, the material is washed off the platform and it is cleaned by the water pressure.

    I'll admit that I wish I had such a toilet today- I've always taken a look at my 'doings' to see how my sometimes unhappy innards are doing. It would be easier if we had toilets made for the purpose.

    I'm not 'poo-obsessed', but I like to be aware of what is going on with my body. If your pee is dark, and you're pooping pebbles, you have a problem.
