What is gut health?

Gut health refers to the overall function and balance of your gastrointestinal system — from your mouth to your rectum. A healthy gut moves food efficiently, produces well-formed stool (Bristol Stool Scale types 3–4), and causes minimal discomfort. Poor gut health manifests as bloating, irregular bowel movements, abdominal pain, and conditions like IBS and IBD.

Common gut health symptoms

Bloating

Feeling of fullness caused by gas, food intolerances, or altered gut motility.

Urgency

Sudden intense need to use the bathroom — common in IBS-D and IBD flares.

Abdominal cramping

Pain or spasms in the lower abdomen, often linked to impending bowel movements.

Irregular stool

Hard stool (Bristol types 1–2) or loose stool (types 6–7) signal motility issues.

Gut Health Tracking FAQs

Plop lets you log bowel movements using the Bristol Stool Scale, track symptoms (bloating, pain, urgency), log meals and FODMAP foods, and monitor stress, sleep, and hydration. Over time, it detects which factors correlate with your worst gut days.
Yes. Tracking is one of the most effective tools for managing IBS because triggers vary so much between individuals. Food sensitivities, stress, hormonal shifts, and sleep patterns all affect IBS symptoms differently for each person — daily logs reveal which factors are most predictive for you.
The Bristol Stool Scale is a clinical tool developed at the Bristol Royal Infirmary in 1997 that classifies stool into 7 types based on shape and consistency. Types 3 and 4 are considered ideal. It's used by gastroenterologists worldwide as the standard way to communicate about bowel habits.
