# A gut health tracker: bowel movements, stool type, fibre and bloating

Gut health is easier to understand as a pattern than as a day. Log how many times you went and the Bristol stool type (1 to 7), with bloating if you like, in one tap or one line such as "pooped twice, bristol 4". Next to fibre, water, sleep, stress and meals, a few weeks of entries show what helps you. It is a log, not a diagnosis: warning signs belong with a doctor.

## How it works

1. **Turn on gut tracking.** Adds bowel movements, Bristol stool type, bloating and fibre, plus water.
2. **Log in one tap or one line.** "pooped twice, bristol 4, 28g fibre" logs three metrics.
3. **Look at two weeks, not one day.** Trends show stool type and frequency next to fibre, water, sleep and stress.
4. **Know when to ask a professional.** Warning signs are listed on every gut guide and on the Bristol chart.

## Who uses it

- Fibre ramp-up: "I raised fibre slowly and watched stool type move from 2 to 4 over ten days."
- Travel and shift work: "Now I can see that late meals and short nights line up with bad gut days."
- Before a doctor's visit: "I showed six weeks of clear notes instead of guessing."

## What you can log

Bowel movements (count), stool type on the Bristol scale, bloating (1 to 5), fibre in grams, water, and caffeine.

- "pooped 2, bristol 4, 28g fibre" logs three metrics
- Tracked, never scored: patterns, not grades

## When to see a doctor

Blood in or on the stool, black or tarry stools, a change in habit lasting more than three weeks, or unexplained weight loss.

## Questions

### Is my gut data private?

Yes. Every value is encrypted at rest with a key unique to your account, and it is never shared with teams.

### What is a normal Bristol stool type?

Types 3 and 4 are the usual middle; see the Bristol stool chart guide for all seven.

### Can my AI assistant read it?

Only if you connect one and allow it. It then sees the same metrics you do.

### Does gut data affect my day score?

No. Gut metrics are tracked, never scored. They describe a pattern; they are not a grade.

### Can teammates see it?

Never. Teams see only derived scores and challenge totals.
