The Poopie Policeman: An Analysis of Digestive Function
September 4th, 2008By Carrie Guthmiller
Paul Chek developed the “Poopie Line-up” and the “Poopie Policeman” to teach clients, and children, how to recognize symptoms of dehydration, poor digestion, and toxicity. The “Poopie Policeman” represents a healthy bowel movement. For a bowel movement to qualify as a “Poopie Policeman”, it must:
- Be well shaped and consistent in contour
- Pass easily
- Be light brown in color
- Smell natural, almost earthy- not foul
- Float, yet doesn’t require multiple attempts to flush.
Familiarity with the following “Bowel Bandits” will help diagnose an irregular or dysfunctional digestive/elimination system.
The Flasher: The flasher gives you a peek at the undigested food particles in the stool. It’s not normal to see food particles in your stool, as it’s a sign of food intolerance or an inflammatory disorder of the digestive system.
Diarrhella: Diarrhella’s crime is one of passion. It’s the body’s desperate attempt at detoxification. Even if you are constipated and dehydrated, your body will scavenge extra water to remove toxins from your body. If you fluctuate between constipation and diarrhea once a month or more within a one-year period, it’s time to re-evaluate your diet.
Pellet Man: Pellet poops resemble rabbit or sheep manure, and may indicate altered states between peristalsis of the colon and dehydration.
The Bodybuilder: Bodybuilder poops are often larger in diameter than a “Poopie Policeman” and are hard to pass. Such bowel movements sometimes come from eating too many dehydrated and processed foods, especially protein bars and shakes.
Olympic Swimmer: Lighter in color than the Poopie Policeman due to the high content of undigested fat, Chek calls them Olympic Swimmers because they are difficult to flush. The Olympic Swimmer may indicate a deficiency in bile, which breaks down fats.
Mr. Sinker ‘n’ Stinker: This mean little bowel bandit often appears after being exposed to processed foods, a toxic environment, or medical drugs, particularly after undergoing a surgical procedure where general anesthesia was used. Mr. Sinker ‘n’ Stinker is one of the meanest fellas you’ll ever encounter in the bathroom. If he’s yours, he’s very hard to get rid of and if he’s not, his smell is enough to make your hair stand on end! So if he comes to call, take steps to detoxify your body.
Pay attention and make sure you’re getting a “Poopie Policeman”, as this will tell you if you have healthy digestive function. If you’re seeing any of the aforementioned “Bowl Bandits”, drink more water, get your stress levels under control, and consider re-evaluating your diet.
