Ok, sinkers are the best.  Floaters usually indicate to much fat in your diet.  Green poop is normal.  Stinky (more than usuall) can indicate a digestive problem, nothing serious, maybe a little bug.  If your poop is hard, it means that you are not drinking enough water &/or not getting enough fiber. Dirreah can be caused from a meriad of things including: Illness, Irratable Bowel Syndrome, gallbladder problems, Acid Reflux, and lactose intolerance.  Corn in poop is fine.  Hot poop is normal (if you have eaten spicy foods recently).  Blood in your poop is not good though.  If you have that, call a doctor immediately.

Feces contains harmful chemicals

Human feces vary significantly in appearance, depending on the state of the whole digestive system, influenced by diet and health. Normally they are semisolid, with mucus coating. Small pieces of harder, less moist feces can be seen impacted on the distal end (a normal occurrence when a prior bowel movement is incomplete, and feces is returned from the rectum to the intestine, where water is absorbed).

When 'poo' floats, it contains a lot of fat in it.  Fat is lighter than water.

That's like asking if the white speck on the top of chicken poop is better than the black stuff on the bottom.  It is all chicken poop.

Hi! Means you're not getting enough fiber and you're constipated. You need to drink more water and increase the amount of fiber in your diet. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you increase the fiber LITTLE AT A TIME...otherwise you'll get bloated and may have the opposite effect of constipation...catch my drift?Good luck. It's important to use the toilet at least everyday (unless you don't eat!) because toxins will remain in your system and over a long period of time, the build up of toxins wear on the system, causing cells to divide abnormally and then you are at risk for colon cancer. Eat your fruit and veggies please.

I don't know why but here is some very useful information\n\nThe Bristol Stool Scale or Bristol Stool Chart is a medical aid designed to classify the feces form into seven groups. It was developed by Heaton and Lewis at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in 1997. The form of the stool depends on the time it spends in the colon. \n\nThe seven types of stool are:\n\nType 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass) \nType 2: Sausage-shaped, but lumpy \nType 3: Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface \nType 4: Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft \nType 5: Soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily) \nType 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool \nType 7: Watery, no solid pieces (entirely liquid) \n\nTypes 1 and 2 indicate constipation\nTypes 3 and (especially) 4 are the preferred types of stools as  \n           they are the easiest to pass. \nTypes 5-7 are more symptomatic of diarrhoea.\n\nIronically, United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust and North Bristol NHS Trust—the largest NHS trusts in Bristol—do not use the Bristol Stool Scale.\n\n\n References\n1.

Human waste is typically brown in appearance in semi-solid with a mucus membrane.  Its color is the result of a mixture of green (from bile), yellows (from muscus) and rusty red (from discarded blood cells).  Other components include retired white bloodcells, cellular waste, undigested food (though this is relatively rare) and water.  All living creatures relieve themselves of waste in some form, so if you, in fact, do not 'poop', then all of those components of waste I listed must get removed somehow.  However, there are no records of a there ever being a human being who had never 'pooped'.  In fact, the consequence would most certainly be death, as the human body has no 'backup' waste removal system to handle bulky solid wastes a person medically incapable of a bowel movement would succumb to septisemia within days.  As a note, black stool usually indicates bleeding along the digestive track and those who experience it regularly (or experience uncharacteristic abdominal pain or bloating during the bowel movement) should consult their physician at once.

Facts About Floaters\n\nFloaters are little "cobwebs" or specks that float about in your field of vision. They are small, dark, shadowy shapes that can look like spots, thread-like strands, or squiggly lines. They move as your eyes move and seem to dart away when you try to look at them directly. They do not follow your eye movements precisely, and usually drift when your eyes stop moving.\n\nIn most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process and simply an annoyance. They can be distracting at first, but eventually tend to "settle" at the bottom of the eye, becoming less bothersome. They usually settle below the line of sight and do not go away completely. Most people have floaters and learn to ignore them; they are usually not noticed until they become numerous or more prominent. Floaters can become apparent when looking at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky.\n\nFloaters occur when the vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills about 80 percent of the eye and helps it maintain a round shape, slowly shrinks. As the vitreous shrinks, it becomes somewhat stringy, and the strands can cast tiny shadows on the retina. These are floaters.\n\nFloaters are more likely to develop as we age and are more common in people who are very nearsighted, have diabetes, or who have had a cataract operation. There are other, more serious causes of floaters, including infection, inflammation (uveitis), hemorrhaging, retinal tears, and injury to the eye.

Passive faecal incontinence or soiling--that is, faecal leakage without awareness--is usually associated with dysfunction of the smooth muscle tissue of the internal anal sphincter or with impacted stool in the rectum. Faecal urgency and urge incontinence are generally related to dysfunction of the striated muscle tissue of the external anal sphincter or to high bowel pressures and a normal sphincter, seen in patients with irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhoea from other causes.

On the contrary... your bowel movement should not float.  It should break up easily when you flush.  Eat more fruits and hot 7 or 8 grain cereals.  Stay away from white rice, refined sugars and processed foods.   Prepare and eat more brown rice and, if you daily include at least 3-4 servings fresh fruit and 2 -3 servings fresh vegetables (cook the vegetable by steaming lightly or eating raw) salads for a week, and use very little red meat and dairy you should see the difference in your bowel movements.  You'll actually see the grains from the rice, whole grain cereals in you bowel movement and when you flush it will break apart.  Should have a comfortable bowel movement with a larger quantity.

Hi There\n\nHow about a colon cleanse? The average american has between 6- 20 pounds of excess toxic fetal matter in their colon. If your not going regularly 3 times a day, then the colon needs to be cleansed. This is how most illness and disease is started from the toxins sitting in the system and then gets into the blood. \n\nThe liver is the organ that helps burn off fat when working properly, so consider that as well with the colon cleanse.\n\n Drink a gallon of distilled water a day as well to help flush the toxins.\n\nBest of health to you
