Dr. Trisha Pasricha is a gastroenterologist who wants to help people achieve 'poophoria'. She says 40% of Americans experience uncomfortable bowel symptoms. Pasricha recommends looking at your stool to check for concerns. A normal range for bowel movements is three times a day to three times a week. Eating more fiber can help with digestive health. Fiber is food for microbes in the colon, which produce short-chain fatty acids that reduce inflammation. Pasricha also advises against consuming ultra-processed foods and artificial sweeteners, which can decrease the mucus barrier in the gut and change microbes.
