Record stool shape during a new schedule

Remember the closest illustrated shape. When start times or daily plans change, an old routine may no longer describe the day clearly.

What makes this useful

A plain description of shape is easier to revisit than a vague memory that something was different.

Use the date the schedule began as a reference point without assuming it explains an observation. A consistent label such as “new schedule” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Choose the closest of the seven illustrated options. Exact visual matching is not required.
  2. Keep shape separate from comfort and other observations; they answer different questions.
  3. If several visits during a new schedule looked different, give each visit its own shape choice. A shared “new schedule” note can group them without flattening the differences.

An example of useful context

“First week on the new schedule.”

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.

Where this fits in LooPoo

Using a Bristol stool chart app to record shape explains the full workflow and its limits.

Use Check-in in the iPhone app for this part of your record. The shape selection describes what you recorded and does not diagnose a condition.

LooPoo keeps check-ins and preferences encrypted on your phone. It describes your observations without diagnosing, treating, or predicting a medical outcome.
