The Gut Health Score
Our proprietary 0-100 metric translates clinical stool characteristics into a transparent digestive benchmark.
Optimal Transit
Corresponds to Bristol Types 3 and 4 with natural bile pigmentation. Indicates smooth transit and healthy hydration.
Moderate Deviation
Associated with Type 2 (lumpy hard) or Type 5 (soft blobs). Often signals dietary fiber or fluid imbalance.
Acute Transit Strain
Severe constipation (Type 1 separate nuts) or diarrhea (Types 6 and 7), or presence of red-flag indicators.
KEY FORMULA COMPONENTS
1. Bristol Consistency Baseline
Each Bristol Type has an evidence-based baseline score: Type 4 starts at 98, Type 3 at 88, Type 2 at 58, Type 5 at 72, Type 1 at 42, and Type 7 at 30.
2. Color Histogram Concordance
Natural brown bile hues validate the score. Variations such as yellow/fatty sheen or pale gray reduce confidence, and red/black trigger clinical alerts.
3. Daily Habit Multipliers
Logged hydration, evacuation comfort, and dietary fiber factors fine-tune the monthly trajectory on your private calendar.
