THE POO WILL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.PRIVATE DIGESTIVE NOTES, WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR
FOOD AND HABIT CONTEXT

Notice more than the bowl.

Food, hydration, medicine, stress, sleep and routine can be useful context. Dedeucer records associations, not causes.

THE CONTEXT BOARD

Six things worth noting.

You do not need to track everything. Focus on changes that might help you explain the pattern.

01

Timing

When did the change begin? Is it once or recurring?

02

Food

Record major changes, not a supposed diagnosis from one meal.

03

Fluid

Note hydration and any signs of dehydration when stool is loose.

04

Medicine

New prescriptions, supplements or antibiotics can be useful to mention.

05

Symptoms

Pain, fever, blood, urgency, weight changes and other concerns matter.

06

Baseline

Compare against what is normal for you over time.

Do not let an app prescribe your diet.

No single photograph can establish a nutrient deficiency or tell you what to eat. Use the journal to prepare questions, then seek qualified advice for persistent or worrying changes.
