TAKE THE POOP QUIZ

Have you ever seen air bubbles in your poop? Aerated stools may imply fermentation of food in the gut. Fermentation releases carbon dioxide, which creates bubbles and ultimately gas. Fermentation is a sign of sourness and toxicity. Fermented foods such as sauerkraut are intensely sour, and a similar process happens in your body when digestion is poor.

When food is left sitting in the gut, it ends up fermenting. When fermentation occurs, the bad bacteria in the gut conquer the good bacteria. This creates toxicity (ama). This fermentation produces CO2, which is then released in the form of gas. Long story short, bubbles in poop are the result of impaired digestion. The result is malabsorption syndrome. You may have intense hunger that never feels completely satisfied, no matter what you eat.

Fermented stools are toxic to your system - some of the food particles that are fermented or not completely digested are absorbed into the blood. This irritates your internal organs, especially the liver and kidneys. Toxins cause inflammation which irritate the delicate tissue mucus membranes.

Common causes of bubbles in poop include overeating, poor food combinations, eating too many heavy, rich foods, etc. Signs of fermentation other than bubbles in poop include a sour smelling poop and smelly gas.

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.
