In a book I have (that I consider rather old but that still contains some good info),
"Foods That Heal", by Maureen Shalaman, my edition: 1994, page 193,
she describes a self test method from Dr. Denis Burkitt, supposedly an authority on colon and waste matter, for determining whether or not the diet contains enough fiber.
About stool quality:
Quote:
Floaters are stools containing enough fiber to make them float. Sinkers are heavy and hard…..
Anyone ever heard of this as a determining factor as to if you are getting enough fiber or not?
Not the most pleasant of topics I know  (floaters vs. sinkers), but if it's going to be asked, this is the place to do it.
