Symptom #2: Unhealthy Stools
As unpleasant as it may be, a person’s stools can tell you a lot about their diet and their health. If somebody does have an illness or a physical problem with their digestive system, it will often be apparent in what they leave behind in the toilet. A doctor might even sometimes ask for a sample to help diagnose a condition.
