The color of your urine is also an easy way to tell how things are working inside your body. Typically, urine that is clear and yellowish in tone is both normal and healthy. Dark yellow pee often means you need to be drinking more water. If it looks foamy in the bowl, that’s totally normal and typically associated with high protein levels. Murky urine, on the other hand, could by the symptom of a problem.
Colored urine could be caused by a variety of factors, but it’s often due to diet. All you should truly worry about is red urine, which, if not caused by food, could indicate the presence of blood. Unlike stool, if you notice blood in your pee or feeling a stinging, burning sensation while urinating, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Perhaps more than anything else, going to the bathroom is most associated with our sense of smell, whether it’s our fault or because the restroom already had a certain fragrance when you walked in.
And while it’s true that waste typically stinks, your scent is a huge indicator of your bodily health and diet. The fact of the matter is that your solid waste shouldn’t consistently smell awful every time you go to the bathroom. In fact, this could be a sign that you’re not properly absorbing nutrients from food. Nasty-smelling bowel movements could also indicate problems like Crohn’s Disease, Celiac disease, IBS, infection, or an allergy.
