Episode notes
Ghost Poops Indicate Gut Health
- Ghost poops sink, pass smoothly, and leave no residue, indicating optimal digestion and microbial balance.
- This reflects efficient nutrient processing without excess mucus or inflammation.
Stool Quality Beats Frequency
- Stool form and cleanliness reveal digestive efficiency better than frequency.
- Quality reflects enzyme activity, bile flow, microbiome, and colon function for nutrient absorption.
Floating and Sticky Stools
- Floating stools signify undigested fat; sticky stools signal inflammation or microbial imbalance.
- Both indicate bile or intestinal issues unlike ghost poops that show proper fat processing.
