5 Things Your Poop Can Tell You About Your Health | Doctor ER

5 Things Your Poop Can Tell You About Your Health | Doctor ER. ER Doctor Jordan Wagner explains 5 things your stool says about your health and how to understand if you're really healthy. It may sound gross, but what your poop type and color mean can reveal a lot of your health. Ever wonder if your poop is normal or if you have good poop health? Do you suffer from constipation or IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? Are you always looking how to relieve gas, bloating, constipation, and abdominal pain? Your pooping/bowel habits are a strong indicator of your digestive health. Diarrhea might be of concern if you have bad digestion. Changes in the color, shape, and texture of your stool can reveal signs of infection, digestive issues/digestive disorders, or more serious health problems, such as cancer or leaky gut. Having a bowel movement is a critical part of digesting the food we eat. The small intestine breaks down food from the stomach and absorbs much of the nutrients from the food. Then, stool formed by the large intestine is the body’s way of getting rid of waste/feces. You should talk to your doctor about any concerns or discuss fiber and probiotics, changes in poop color and consistency could show what is happening inside your digestive system and colon. Gut health is really important. Comment below if you have any health and wellness questions and give this video a like!

Can't believe someone actually questioned "are you even a real doctor" 🥺 even if you weren't, you've still put more into my brain than any doctor I've seen or talked to irl and I hope you'll be a doctor forever

[TwoHarts]

This was a bizarrely interesting topic. Probably one many are embarrassed to talk about so it's great you made this video! 💖💖

I actually was misdiagnosed for constipation and it ended up being my appendix and it ruptured. I know it’s hard to tell but does frustrate me when some doctors “default” to constipation

Years ago while I was at work I got the most sharp and debilitating pain in my stomach area. I instantly fell to the ground from it. Anyways my point is I ended up admitted to our local hospitals ER. I woke up in the middle of the night after tons of testing and scans were done on me to the entire Gastroenterology Surgery team standing around my bed. The unexpected sight literally frightened me. The surgeon then told me they found a small impact inside my colon and it is causing me to have diarrhea, infrequent bowel movements, sometimes bloody as well. They said surgery is on option but they advised against it due to it being such a sensitive area and the scar tissue would be awful. Also I was at a young age at the time too. Well several years later and many Gastro specialists visits and several colonoscopies over the years. I was finally diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease together. Well I am now on my third flare up in just over a year and am getting put on Entocort again. Autoimmune Diseases are no joke everyone and are awful! At this point I am honestly contemplating just to ask and have the surgery done to see if it helps me resolve most of my issues.

I go about 2-4 times a day but it's never consistent. Nor is the type of poops I take. But my bowels love trolling me. I'll poop, wait a while until the feeling goes away, and then get up to leave. As soon as I stand up or walk away, sure enough the poop signal goes off again and I have to sit right back down. Sometimes I'll be trapped in the bathroom for hours on end.

i remembered hearing an interesting story from my teacher: when she was chaperoning the yearly senior trip, there was this guy who, for one reason or another, he DID NOT want to go to the bathroom, even back at his hotel room. as a result, he was in constant and intense pain; he couldn't even walk two steps without crying in pain. on the last two days of the trip (the trip lasts for a week), my teacher finally convinced him to go to the bathroom, and guess what, the pain was gone the moment he let it all out. he was so relieved and no longer had trouble walking. this guy went FIVE DAYS without going. she said he was this close to being hospitalized.

soooo yeah, poop every day lol.

[MichaelLesesne]

I poop about twice a day and have never gone a day without at least one bowel movement. I also suggest adding ginger to your diet. For me, if helps with maintaining a good gut and regularity.

1 to 3 times a day depending on what I eat and how active I am. I'd love to see a video about people who have insulin sensitivity, pre diabetic, and diabetes. Alot of people still don't know the warning signs for these or the difference between them. The more information out there the better chance someone can live a healthier life.

[cleothehelpfuljack]

Currently I go once per day. Before I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease in 2019 I was going ten times a day and every meal caused me a lot of pain and bloating. Since going strictly gluten free things are so much better. My family joke and say I am falling apart as every year something goes wrong with me. Thank goodness I have an amazing older brother who is my carer to help me out every day.

Thank you Dr. Jordan for helping the public understand more about our anatomy! Years ago I was severely impacted after receiving a prescription for a muscle relaxant to relieve back pain from a ruptured disc. No one told me how constipating those pills could be. I went to my doctor and he even took x rays to see if I was having a baby!!! After almost three hours, with his help in the office, I was relieved of my constipation but had the worst headache of my life the day after. I believe I had begun to go septic as I had been so backed up from the muscle relaxant pills. Hope that helps to warn others to drink LOTS OF WATER when taking such pills!

So I found out Oreos have some heavy food coloring the hard way once when I was a teen. That black poop scared me so much! But I waited one day, things got back to normal and I swore off chocolate oreos after that! Mind, i don't binge eat snacks like i used to, but still!

[KristineMendoza]

Depending on what I eat, which usually doesn’t change much from day to day, I go to the toilet every other day because my bowels aren’t that quick. Eating oatmeal every morning helps keep me full however and also helps move things along. Or a cup of coffee in the morning without added extra creamers or sugars. I use sugar free alternatives to cut on unnecessary calories. Also, I try to drink a gallon a day, but sometimes it’s hard even though I do HIIT workout almost everyday.

[KristineMendoza]

Every time I open YouTube and see you have a new video, I’m so happy and excited. Always something new everyday. Can you cover a video on the importance of hydration? Or maybe like weight or resistance training basics?

When I was 12 or 13 I ended up being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I’ve learned that it comes in handy because whenever I don’t want to do something, a family reunion, or another annoying function, I can always play the colitis card. Oh, I’m sorry. I can’t make it. I’m having a flare-up, and it’s off to the baseball game instead.

Man I remember the first time I overate on red velvet cake during a wedding. I worried myself crazy the next day

[DrMitchRice]

Love the content as always!! Extremely enjoyable to watch and relatable!

[chriscoleman]

[bisnotch]

[kandi]

I subscribed just because he said “please do me a favor and subscribe” …. It’s just nice to be asked instead of bribed or told to.

[stephaniefisher]

My habits change. Usually it's every couple of days. Once a week maybe it will be 2 or 3 times in one day that I need to.
