Amount of stool per movement

Can there be a way to track the amount of stool per bowel movement? Maybe something simple like a little –> full scale with five points, similar to the bristol scale selector we have now?

    Hi RL, Could this not be tracked as a factor already?

    Yes and no.

    If I only want to see how the amount per bowel movement changes, in either one day or across time, then factors work fine. However, what I really need to know is how much total stool is being passed for an entire day, how this is effected by medications and other factors (food, exercise, etc.), as well as how the amount of stool passed that day correlates with other symptoms.

    I see that I didn’t include anything about a total amount for the day in my first post as I intended. I apologize for that.

    I found that you can create a custom health measurement for the actually amount tracking, but I don’t know how the health measurements interact with metrics.
