Hi Alexis,

Without having any detailed info on what you eat on a day-to-day basis, I can only offer my own experience. Basically, I can tell what I ate earlier that day or the day prior by looking at my "poop"! For example, yesterday I ate watermelon (and nothing else). This morning, my poop looks like watermelon (same color and everything). A few days prior I ate strawberries and loads of greens (and nothing else) and my poop looked like Christmas (red and green)!

If I have a canteloupe day, my poop is orangey (looks like cantaloupe) . . . the list goes on. When I started eating this way a couple years ago I didn't know this was normal. I had a whole battery of conventional medical stool analyses done and the results were negative. Now, I would worry if my poop looked like a compact brown log and stunk to the high heavens!

If you are really concerned, perhaps have a stool analysis done to make sure you are not passing blood or having any other medical issues. If the results are negative and you feel good, why worry?
