The Bristol Stool Chart (for Children)
This chart is a tool used very widely in conjunction with a bowel diary as part of a medical assessment to identify dysfunctional bowel patterns.
Many toilet training difficulties can be related to underlying bowel dysfunction and early identification and treatment is strongly recommended.
This chart is a useful guideline to assist discussions with medical and allied health professionals about your child.
