Everybody Poops: Thanks Oprah for Showing Us the S Curve


Digestive dialogue is going mainstream. Gastro Girl is smiling big today. And not just because of her morning flax-seed laden strawberry smoothie.

A friend just told me that a recent Oprah Winfrey show, The Insider's Guide to Make You Younger and Healthier included a segment, called Everybody Poops. This is so cool. Oprah, girl, you make me wannna shake your hand! Don't worry, I wash them frequently.

Anyway, the show included a Health IQ quiz.

Guess what? First two questions were related to our digestive health:

1. What shape should your poop be?

a. Pancake-shaped
b. S-shaped
c. Pebble-shaped
d. I refuse to look.

2. How much fiber should you eat per day?

a. 10 grams
b. 15 grams
c. 25 grams
d. 55 grams

You'll have to watch the segment to find out.
