Overview

Stool, also known as feces, is the solid or semisolid remains of food that has been digested in the gastrointestinal tract and expelled through the anus. It consists of what is left after nutrients and fluids have been absorbed by the digestive system. The composition and appearance of stool can provide important information about a person's digestive health.
