Bowel Health

 

Did you know?

 

  • Its normal to empty your bowels 1-3x per day or once every 3 days!
  • When you empty your bowels it should be soft and easy to pass – that is, a type 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart – in other words it should take less than 5 minutes to empty your bowel and your poo should look like a sausage or fat snake – that is….smooth and soft!

See Bristol Stool Chart here

 

Whats the best way to empty the bowel?

 

  • WHEN you feel the urge – don’t put this off. If you put it off it can be harder to empty your bowel when you get the next urge….
  • SIT on the toilet (don’t hover)
  • PUT your feet on a stool so your knees are just above your hips
  • LEAN forward and bulge your belly out to generate some gentle pressure to start the bowel movement.

toilet position

Whats good for the bowel?

 

  1. 2 Kiwi fruit per day
  2. Teaspoon of psyllium husk per day
  3. Prunes
  4. Pear juice
  5. EXERCISE

 

Happy Bowel Movement!! Bowel Health!
