Welcome to Day 6 of your 30-Day Opu Gut Health Journey!
Today, let’s talk about something that everyone experiences but nobody really talks about: weird poop 💩 days.
When you start making changes to your gut health routine, like adding probiotics, fiber, or new foods, your body might need a little time to adjust.
That can mean a day or two of unexpected bathroom adventures - maybe things are a little looser, a little firmer, or just different than usual. This is totally normal and often a sign that your gut is responding to the new routine.
Unless you are experiencing severe symptoms like sharp pain, blood, or prolonged diarrhea, there is usually no reason to panic. Your gut is just figuring out its new normal.
