Well ... the things you learn while surfing the net!
As a nurse and here at 3FC, I'm surprised how much people don't know about healthy bowel habits.

Have you never used the Bristol Stool Scale? You surprise me! We use it all the time over here.

Oh my goodness. That's - well - interesting!
By the way, SusanB, is that what you mean by Move Yourself?

Funny, because I was sort of wondering about digestive health this morning!

Consider me one who has never used it! I have heard of Bristol-Myers...I have heard of Bristol, VT...I have heard of The Bristol Stomp...but I had never heard of The Bristol Stool Scale before this moment

OMG...that is too funny! I'm in my last year of nursing school and have yet to see this chart. I do believe my classmates would get a kick out of this! I also work at the largest hospital in Lexington and no one has ever mentioned it, thankfully.

i think this chart would really be useful in the U.s. It seems like the word "diarrhea" is often overused for any soft stool.

No, we've never used that! We have 8 or 10 descriptive terms we use but no official chart. We might use it now. The gals at work quite liked it too.

Oh! now I realize that Primm must be in the medical field also. I thought she was commenting on a cultural diff between where she lives and the States
Somewhere, on my road travels, I was at a State rest stop, and in the ladies' rest room there was a large framed picture/shadowbox thing on the wall. It contained dried ( I hope!!) different animal eliminations and labels on who they were from. Like fox, squirrel, relatively small forest folks
no bear samples
but back to the OP, I guess it is valuable to have a standard to compare to!
