The article emphasizes the importance of discussing gut health, which remains a taboo topic for many. Dr. Morgan Sendzischew Shane highlights the stigma around discussing bowel habits, which can lead to misconceptions and myths about digestion. Experts, including Dr. Folasade P. May, stress that normal bowel movement frequency varies widely and that consistency and quality of stool are much more significant health indicators. This lack of conversation can prevent individuals from addressing their gut health proactively and accurately understanding their body's needs.
It's not prim and proper to discuss digestion, gas or bowel habits, she added. And people may feel shy about bringing up certain issues with their doctors.
More important is how consistent your bowel movements are, and how your stool looks (not too hard, lumpy or watery) and how it feels to pass.
