Before i start i just want to say that this is a health issue so i shouldnt get modded.

Anyways a while back, my mom was watching Oprah and a guy was on the show talking about human waste.

I always look because i like to know if im eating healthy and if my diet is good. It is very simple to see if you are eating right and healthy by observing the effects of your diet. For example, you can tell if you are dehydrated if your urine is yellow. If you are drinking the right amount of water each day, your urine should be almost as transparent as water (but of course it wont always be that clear). Next i learned that your solid waste should either be in the shape of either a pretzel or a banana and should be together not in seperate clumps. If it isnt in those two shapes you are probably not eating healthy and you are malnourished. Its pretty interesting and is a very simple way to discover if ur eating right.

I was wondering if any of you GS users observe your waste before you flush? and if you do, are you healthy. I am :)

Note: please be mature about this topic. If you are not going to be, DO NOT post here

ummm. I don't need to look at my waste to know that I'm eating right. You should be able to tell without that...

Health issue or not, it's still gross.

Anyway, the things you say really aren't very serious. Just because your urine is yellow doesn't mean that you're severely dehydrated and you're going to pass out if you don't drink some water. It just means that you haven't drank alot of water in the past few hours. Same goes for your waste. If your waste is not in the shape of a banana or pretzel, it doesn't mean that you have a major health issue that should be taken medically. Plus, this is stuff that not many people think about anyway.

I worry more about color. If it is black I hope I have eaten an Oreo, otherwise I could be in trouble.

Even the banana is a little confusing. Does he mean it should have some arc? Would a wizard staff shape be ok too?

well the curve/ arc shape comes from the bile being in your large and small intestines.

Whoa. If my urine is yellow it means I am dehydrated? Holy crap I am dehydrated all the time I don't remember the last time it was transparent.

*looks at water bottle, then looks at can of pepsi, starts to take bottle of water, stops and takes can of pepsi instead*

Yellow urine doesn't mean you're dehydrated. Lots of vegetables make your urine yellow, especially asparagus.

And if you're crapping out pretzels and bananas, you have severe problems and should go to the doctor.

My mom's a nurse, so I learn little things.

One of them is look for blood in your bowels (you don't wanna know what that means).

As for the pretzels, I've seen them (public restroom, people don't flush, go figure), to this day cannot for the life of me see how that happened other than it was one long-ass contineous bowel, no interruptions, and it achieved that shape because of the "bowl" shape of the toilet.
