Bile is produced in the liver, and understanding this matters because, as Kieran puts it: "You want to have the worst stool ever, I'll show you how. (so you can reverse it)". By working backwards through his formula, you can see exactly where the process breaks down.

## Key takeaways

- Have a damaged gut lining, so even if the little acid there is made it into the small intestine. bile flow couldn't be stimulated
- On this note have poor liver health, this'll lead to those lovely sticky, floating and oily stools we all love (not)
- So now we've got the formula for the worst stool ever, we've got the formula for the best stool ever

## What Is the Formula for the Worst Stool Ever?

You want to have the worst stool ever, I'll show you how. (so you can reverse it):

- Gulp down your food without chewing, so your stomach has to do extra work and so food sits even heavier
- Eat whilst stressed, and have low stomach acid so food sits there and ferments.
- Have a damaged gut lining, so even if the little acid there is made it into the small intestine. bile flow couldn't be stimulated
- On this note have poor liver health, this'll lead to those lovely sticky, floating and oily stools we all love (not)
- After all this make sure to lay down and don't move a muscle after meals, we want it to sit there and cause immense fermentation and bloating

## Why Reverse the Formula in the First Place?

Now I hope we all get this is backwards, but it actually is a principle I learned from Warren Buffet called reverse thinking.

So now we've got the formula for the worst stool ever, we've got the formula for the best stool ever,

## Does Thinking Backwards Actually Help?

@DwayneSabatine thinking backwards helps a lot sometimes

You can dig deeper into how bile is stimulated and where it travels in [bile flow pathway](https://gutfix.ai/blog/bile-flow-pathway), and how poor liver health and bile output show up physically in [signs of poor bile flow](https://gutfix.ai/blog/signs-of-poor-bile-flow).
