The colour of your urine and the shape of your stool can reveal important clues about hydration, digestion, and overall wellness.
At Kulhay Wellness Centre, our team uses these natural signs as part of a holistic approach to understanding your inner health. Through naturopathic medicine, holistic nutrition, and live blood cell microscopy, we help you interpret these signals and create a personalized plan that supports balance, vitality, and optimal function.
Use the charts below to better understand what your body may be telling you.
Understanding the Bristol Stool Chart
The Bristol Stool Chart is a visual tool that helps assess digestive health by showing stool form and consistency. Each type can give clues about hydration, diet, and gut function:

Type 1: Separate hard lumps, like nuts – may indicate constipation or slow gut transit.
Type 2: Sausage-shaped but lumpy – often a sign of mild constipation.
Type 3: Like a sausage with cracks on the surface – considered normal, healthy stool.
Type 4: Smooth, soft sausage or snake – ideal stool, easy to pass.
Type 5: Soft blobs with clear edges – may indicate mild diarrhea or fast transit.
Type 6: Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, mushy – can be a sign of mild diarrhea.
Type 7: Watery, entirely liquid – often indicates severe diarrhea or very fast transit.
