Ghosting is bad, but ghosting your poop is good!
In the realm of bodily functions, the topic of poop often takes center stage (obviously it does here).
Recently, a revelation from a medical expert suggests that a peculiar type of bowel movement, known as a “ghost poop,” might be an indicator of excellent health.
Dr. Janine Bowring, a renowned expert in the field, shared insights on social media about this elusive and seemingly magical type of excrement.
What is a Ghost Poo?
According to Dr. Bowring, if you find yourself regularly experiencing ghost poops, you might just be on the path to being the healthiest person on the planet!
The good poop doctor emphasizes the importance of taking a moment to inspect your stool before flushing, as changes in its appearance can sometimes signal underlying health issues.
It’s also one of the more fun post poop activities and likely has soured many laughable or unwelcome text threads with your poo poo pals. Dr. Bowring points out that a ghost poop is the holy grail of bowel movements.
Conduct at least one wipe for security or pooper peace of mind
Describing a ghost poop, Dr. Bowring explains it as the kind of poop that mysteriously disappears down the toilet, leaving you questioning whether you unloaded or perhaps had a temporal timelapse. When using toilet paper, the result is a clean slate, with no traces of your bathroom visit.
The single or no wipe poops are always the best in the opinion of our staff. They do not happen often, but you know it’s always going to be a good day after a one-wiper. Even if a pooper can get away without a single wipe, it’s important to maintain at least one or two “security wipes” as good butt cleansing protocol.
One intrigued follower (fellow pooper) sought clarification, to which Dr. Bowring responded, “It takes itself down the pipe.”
According to the medical expert, the occurrence of a ghost poop is closely tied to one’s diet. Foods rich in fiber and fatty acids, such as omega-3s, play a significant role in achieving this elusive feat.
Dr. Bowring elaborates, stating that having sufficient fiber and essential fatty acids is the key. She notes, “You even wipe and you’re like, ‘I thought I pooped, I don’t see anything.’ It’s because you’ve got that fiber. You’ve got enough of those essential fatty acids.”
Look before you flush!
The frequency of bowel movements varies widely among poopers, ranging from three times a day to three times a week. It’s universally acknowledged as a crucial and one of the most satisfying bodily functions.
The primary purpose of this activity is to expel undigested food and other waste products from the body. However, not all bowel movements are created equal; they can differ in color and consistency for various reasons. Hence, always check out you poop!
Furthermore, she suggests that maintaining a harmonious circadian rhythm, synchronized with the natural light and dark cycle of the day, contributes to the enigmatic vanishing act of ghost poops.
While the consistency and color of stool can fluctuate based on diet, hydration and overall health, any drastic changes may warrant attention. Unusually hard or runny stools could indicate a need for dietary adjustments or an underlying health concern.
The color of poop > The color of money!
Ideally, poop should display a medium to dark brown color (similar to the poop emoji). Red or black stool, may signal the presence of blood and should prompt an immediate visit to a healthcare professional. This can also be due to using some aggressively harsh toilet paper. Our staff has a few solves for this issue.
Needless to say, the enigmatic ghost poop may just be a sign that your digestive system is in top-notch. Paying attention to the messages your body and poop send can display valuable, brown insights into your overall well-being.
