Bacteria in Stool: What Your Poop Reveals About Your Digestive Health
Discover what bacteria in stool can reveal about your digestive health. Notice signs like persistent bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, or unexplained fatigue—these can be your body's signals that your gut microbiome may benefit from a closer look. A stool test analyzes the DNA and metabolic activity of the bacteria in stool, giving a detailed snapshot of which microbes are thriving and which might be out of balance. By understanding the patterns in bacteria in stool, you can start targeted steps to improve digestion and overall well-being. Learn more about how these insights are generated on the InnerBuddies product page. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for brands and clinics, and it is also accessible directly to consumers. Its Gut Microbiome Health Index scores your gut wellness from 0 to 100, based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The platform also presents Bacteria Abundances for a top 40 set of microbes, showing how your levels compare to a healthy cohort. In addition, Bacteria Functions are categorized as positive or negative, so you can see which metabolic pathways support or challenge gut health relative to peers. Target Group Analysis dives deep into specific use cases—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more—so you can tailor strategies to your goals. Finally, Personalized Nutrition Advice and Personalized Probiotics & Prebiotics Advice translate your data into concrete dietary and supplement choices. Learn more about these capabilities on the InnerBuddies product page. To act on what bacteria in stool reveals, practical steps matter: diversify dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains; incorporate fermented foods; stay hydrated; manage stress; and get sufficient sleep.
