READ THE CAPTION BELOW 👇…. Five weird signs your gut is actually healthy 1. Your stomach growls and rumbles (even loudly!). It’s basically your gut’s cleaning cycle. Those sounds happen when waves of contractions move gas, fluid, and leftover food through your intestines between meals. This process—called the migrating motor complex—helps sweep bacteria and debris through the small intestine and eventually to the colon. 2. You fart all the time. Your gut bacteria are extracting antioxidants from your food, fermenting fiber, producing anti-inflammatory compounds, and producing gas as a byproduct. Most healthy people pass gas around 10–20 times per day, and it’s often a sign your microbiome is actively doing its job. 3. You poop shortly after eating or when you’re excited. This is the gastrocolic reflex. When your stomach stretches from a meal—or when your body is stimulated by things like excitement—it signals the colon to contract and move stool along. Your body is essentially making room for incoming food. 4. You have ghost poop. That’s when you poop and there’s almost nothing to wipe. Well-formed stool that passes easily and leaves minimal residue is often a sign of good fiber intake, hydration, and balanced gut bacteria. 5. You poop more than once a day. A lot of people think once per day is the rule, but pooping up to about 3 times per day can be normal. The key is that the stool should be formed and easy to pass. Frequent watery stools or diarrhea would be abnormal #healthtips #ibs #constipation #poop #fart
