A member asked:
What does an ideal bowel movement look or feel like?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bristol stool score: There is a 7 point stool score with photos. Ideally you would have the 3, 4 score. Type 6 is too fluffy and type 1 is too hard.

Just right: Not too hard, not too small, formed rather than loose. You should feel better afterwards than you did before.
