One of my previous posts highlighted the effect of even small levels of dehydration on the gut https://www.plopp.online/post/what-happens-to-your-gut-when-you-don-t-drink-enough-water


The hot weather made me think about this again, because whilst we love to track your poop habits, you're likely to be weeing many more times per day, so please pay attention to the colour of wee as well


For as long as I can remember I've been told that 'pale straw' is the ideal wee colour and anything darker means that you're getting dehydrated. The best way of lightening the wee, if your wee appears a to have gone to the dark side, is to drink more water.


We did consider at one point whether the Plopp app should be able log wee as well as poo, but we decided to keep the focus narrow so logging was quick. But we're open to suggestions!
