Have you ever seen air bubbles in your poop? Is your poop frothy?

Frothy poop is a sign of poor digestion. When food digests poorly, it sits too long in your gut and bacteria begin to grow.

This causes fermentation, the same process that turns cabbage into sauerkraut and cucumbers into pickles, making them intensely sour. But in this case, it is the food in your gut that is fermenting.

Carbon dioxide released by fermentation creates the air bubbles and makes frothy poop. It also causes toxicity or ama, which is released in the form of gas.

Fermented poop is toxic to your system. It's like eating old food left to spoil.

• Air bubbles in your stool are a sign of impaired digestion.
• Fermentation of stool means bacteria are getting the nutrients from your food instead of you, leading to malabsorption. You may have intense hunger that never feels completely satisfied, no matter what you eat.
• Bacgeria release toxins that get absorbed into the blood. These toxins irritate your internal organs, especially the liver and kidneys.
• The toxins also inflame your gut, irritating the delicate tissues and mucus membranes that form the inner lining of your digestive tract.

Common causes of frothy poop include digestive disorders, overeating, poor food combinations, and eating too many heavy, rich foods.

Sour smelling poop and smelly gas are other signs of fermentation.

Ayurvedic Remedies for Frothy Poop

The following are ideas to help boost your digestion and lessen the fermentation in your gut:

• Favor Easy-to-Digest Foods and recipes.
• 20 minutes before meals, increase the quality of your digestion by having a Ginger Appetizer, made from fresh ginger root, salt and lime.
• Bitter and Astringent tastes tend to destroy bacteria, so make sure each meal includes these tastes.
• An Ayurvedic cleanse, such as a Kitchari Cleanse, is helpful for resetting digestion, alleviating fermentation in the gut and eliminating bubbles in poop. But if mung beans and rice give you gas, try a chicken soup instead.
• For stronger action against fermentation, try an antimicrobial.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1

STOOL FORMED, BUT POROUS & AIRY IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1 - AFFECTING DIGESTION

If you have symptoms in this category, your body is sending you a warning sign. Since digestion is so metabolically intensive and sensitive to stress and emotions, the earliest warning signs of imbalance usually appear in the digestive tract first. You may have gas and bloating, for example, or acid reflux. Ayurveda recommends paying careful, close attention to warning signs. They indicate that an imbalance is starting to accumulate. Correct these warning signs before they accumulate further and weaken your body's resistance. This is usually accomplished by removing diet and lifestyle habits that aggravate your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics. (See all disease stages on JB)
