Whats the difference between a floater and a sinker?
Stools that sink are a warning sign. Stools that float indicate the presence of fiber and adequate fluids, and seamless fluffy floaters are a bonus. Pencil shaped, string bean and rabbit food pellets are a warning sign. These shapes indicate constrictions and impaction in the colon. A beaded or segmented stool also indicates a tendency toward constipation and potential for diverticulitis. Noxious fumes indicate the presence of putrefying matter residing in your bowels. The worst smelling stools belong to meat eaters, consumers of grease and fats and highly refined foods and sugars. These foods tend to stay longer, and sometimes permanently in the intestinal track where they decay, putrefy and poison the body. The shape of the stool is important, as well as the frequency of your movements – the color, length and circumference are the signals that your colon uses to communicate and to help you monitor your health.
