Type 1: Stools appear in separate, hard lumps, similar to nuts. Type 1 stools remained in the colon the longest amount of time; a sure sign you’re constipated; most common stools.
Type 2: Stools are sausage-like in appearance but lumpy. Indicate toxic constipation and need for intestinal cleansing
Type 3 (Normal): Stools come out similar to a sausage but with cracks in the surface.
Type 4 (Normal): Stools are smooth and soft in the form of a sausage or snake.
Type 5: Stools form soft blobs with clear-cut edges, and easily pass through the digestive system. Soft diarrhea, it may indicate a possible risk for bowel disease; also indicate you are toxic and need regular intestinal cleansing.
Type 6: Stools have fluffy pieces with ragged edges. Considered mushy stools, they indicate diarrhea; and that you are toxic and need regular intestinal cleansing.
Type 7: Stool is mostly liquid with no solid pieces. Passed quickly through the colon; is indicative of severe diarrhea possibly as a result of a viral or bacterial infection. See a doctor as soon as possible.
Dr. Group added the following category which is not an original part of the Bristol Stool Scale.
Type 8: Stool has a mucous-like consistency, with bubbles and a foul odor (sprayed out). This may indicate unsafe amounts of alcohol and/or recreational drugs.
