Most of us flush without looking.

But your poop is one of the few health signals your body gives you every single day. Changes in its color, shape, consistency, frequency, or the presence of blood can offer clues about everything from your liver and gallbladder to inflammation, digestive disease, and colorectal cancer.

And some of the warning signs are not as obvious as people think. Blood is not always red. White stool can signal a problem with bile flow. And sometimes the most important clue is simply that something has changed from what is normal for you.

Dr. Karan Rajan is a gut doctor and one of the world’s largest health and science creators. In this episode, he helps us understand what the toilet can actually tell us about what is happening inside the body.

To make sense of it, we follow five clues: • What your poop can reveal about colorectal cancer and other serious conditions • Why what is “normal” can look radically different from person to person • What constipation, diarrhea, bloating and farting can reveal about your gut • Why blood is not always red, and what color, shape and texture can tell you • And what your brain, stress and sleep have to do with all of it

Together, those clues lead to a surprisingly important question:

What is your body already telling you that you may be flushing away?
