Logs vs.Blobs: Your Stool Tells Your Inside Story

lifehacker.com shows us all the value of understanding our own internal story based on the shape and consistency of our poop.  There's even an awesome chart, for you visual learners.  With the help of the Bristol Stool Chart from wikipedia (seen below) and lifehacker's interactions with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, medical editor at Examine.com, and Dr. David Dragoo, MD, there are some wonderfully surprising 'nuggets' for you to learn here.
Types 1–2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools (especially the latter), as they are easy to defecate while not containing any excess liquid, and 5, 6 and 7 tending towards diarrhoea.
