Get to know your poo for the sake of your health


The colour of your stool can give a clue to the condition of your gastrointestinal system. — The Star

Poo, poop, doo doo, faeces, stools (medical term) – whatever you want to call it, talking about bowel movements can be embarrassing.

We all go “eeeuuww” when we see, smell or discuss it, especially at the dining table, but your poo can provide plenty of insights into your digestive health.
