Question 1 of 10
How often do you have a bowel movement?
Why we ask: Healthy frequency is once or twice daily. Less than 3 times a week is clinically considered constipation. Multiple times a day can indicate IBS or diarrhea — not necessarily healthy.
Once a day
Multiple times a day
Every 2–3 days
Less than twice a week
Question 2 of 10
How would you describe your stool most of the time?
Why we ask: Stool consistency is one of the most accurate indicators of gut health. Doctors use the Bristol Stool Chart to assess hydration, inflammation and gut function.
Smooth, sausage-shaped (Bristol Type 3–4)
Soft blobs, mushy (Bristol Type 5–6)
Hard, dry, difficult to pass (Bristol Type 1–2)
Loose or watery (Bristol Type 7)
Question 3 of 10
How much water do you drink daily?
Why we ask: Dehydration is the number one cause of constipation. Water softens stool and keeps the intestinal lining healthy.
More than 8 glasses
6–8 glasses
4–6 glasses
Less than 4 glasses
Question 4 of 10
How often do you eat fruits and vegetables?
Why we ask: Fiber from plants feeds gut bacteria. Low fiber directly causes sluggish digestion, bloating and constipation.
With every meal
2–3 times a day
Once a day
Rarely
Question 5 of 10
How often do you eat processed or fast food?
Why we ask: Ultra-processed foods destroy gut bacteria diversity within 3–4 days. The microbiome recovers slowly.
Rarely or never
Once a week or less
Several times a week
Daily
Question 6 of 10
Do you experience bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort after meals?
Why we ask: Chronic bloating signals bacterial imbalance, food intolerance or poor digestion. Common but not normal.
Rarely or never
Occasionally
Frequently
Almost always
Question 7 of 10
How would you rate your stress levels?
Why we ask: The gut and brain share the same nerve network. Chronic stress physically slows digestion, causes IBS flare-ups and alters gut bacteria composition.
Low
Moderate, manageable
Moderately high
Very high, affects daily life
Question 8 of 10
Do you take time to properly chew your food?
Why we ask: Digestion starts in the mouth. Chewing triggers enzyme production. Eating fast is one of the most overlooked causes of bloating and indigestion.
Yes, I eat mindfully
I try to slow down
Usually rushed
I eat very fast
Question 9 of 10
How often do you eat fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut)?
Why we ask: Fermented foods are the most effective natural source of probiotics. They rebuild gut bacteria diversity that modern diets destroy.
Daily
A few times a week
Rarely
Never
Question 10 of 10
Do you experience anal irritation, itching or discomfort after using the toilet?
Why we ask: Chronic anal irritation is often caused by aggressive wiping, incomplete cleaning or inflammation from poor gut health. It affects up to 45% of women and almost nobody talks about it.
Rarely or never
Occasionally
Sometimes
Frequently
