39 So what color stool should you be striving for? For optimum health, human stools should be a milk-chocolate coloring. F o r m The shape of your stool is very important when it comes to detecting health problems. A perfect stool has a bit of an s-shaped squiggle at the very end, where it has been allowed to mold to the intestinal sigmoid while waiting to be voided. T e x t u r e Stool texture is a good indicator as to how well you are digesting the foods that you eat. The healthiest stool texture resembles a wet clump of earth. Anything softer and you are eating too many dense foods; and anything harder and more formed suggests that you are not eating enough fibrous, water-soluble foods. S i z e So, how big should your stools be? Although the amount and size of your stools should be in direct proportion to how much you eat, a person taking in app. 2000 calories a day should excrete about 2-3 ten inch logs per sitting, with a width about the size of the circle made when you connect your thumb and index finger together. Those eating an extremely high fiber diet may pass even larger stools! | Hemorrhoid No More | By Jessica Wright Page 39
