I thought i would do a topic on something i have subconsciously been thinking about for the last few years.
It concerns the consistency of poo and how it differs as we get older. This can all be blamed on my 5 y/o daughter !
Every since my daughter has been a toddler and out of nappies we have been responsible for wiping her bum. We don't anymore thankfully, but we might have to help occasionally still. What i have noticed is that she has quite sold harder poos and when you wipe there is actually very little mess to wipe away. It just needs one or two wipes maximum and all is clean.
I remember my poos were exactly like this as well and i even remember my friend telling me once aged 11 or 12 that he S*** clay!
As i have gotten older the poo has softened up and so you have to do much more wiping.
I am assuming this is a very common thing to happen to all people, so what is going on here ?
A young person is getting rid of less waste water this way it seems.
Now the reason why i have decided to post this topic up is because i have noticed a change in my own no2's recently. They are more solid as opposed to soft and there is much less wiping required. The new thing in my life is testosterone gel replacement. This is the reason for the change in no2 shape.
I am taking this as a positive and see it all as being pro metabolic. So i have seen an improvement in my skin quality and colour, my weight has dropped a natural 2kg and i generally feel much better in mood. I am not experiencing any mega reactions to testosterone because i am just using physiological amounts, but it is certainly helping my overall metabolism.
So poo quality is possibly a good indicator for our overall metabolic health.
