How many times a day should i be making #2?

I make myself doodie-free probably twice or 3 times a day.

twice a day…less than that is dangerous for you and others around you.

it takes me weeks to take a shit. Is that normal?

Never. Join me. I refuse to be a slave to my bowels.

Seriously? Twice a day? I maybe go twice a week… I’ve always been told I’m healthy though.

Granny is not right. She needs to get off your case. Tell her you are fine and gentlemen do not discuss these matters.

“Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but the general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Less than 3 movements a week may indicate constipation, and more than 3 watery stools a day could indicate diarrhea.”

I’m going to go on and publicly be who I am here and say I usually go only once, maybe twice every week and a half.

@Glitterfish
No, it is not normal to sit on the toilet for weeks at a time. Unless you are not constantly on the toilet for those weeks, in that case I think you have a different problem.

Haha funny. I acctually meant that I can’t poopy more than once in a week or two

I poop 3 or 4 times a day…is that weird? Maybe I’m eating too much…or at least too much crap my body doesn’t need to hang on to. Great…now I’ll be known as “The Poo Girl” on Fluther.

tell grannie to butt out! whats good for the grannie may not be good for the goose

I think it depends on what and how much you eat. I can’t believe that there’s a standard, but maybe there is. Have you thought about asking your doctor the next time you’re there?

when I ask people this question (which I do on a regular basis) I consider normal to be between 3 times a day and once every 3 days.

Why are you talking about this with your grandmother? I’d be interested in finding out about what other types of things you talk about with her.

@bodyhead: she often brings up random useless home remedies, almost always during dinner. When she brought it up, I excused myself from the table and she thinks I’m taking her advice.

How exactly did that conversation come about with your grandmother anyway?? lol

Not Enough?! I go about once every 2 days.

Normal range is 3 per day to one every three days, per gastroeneterology guidelines.

I poop approximately 2–4 times per day. It depends what my IBS is like on any given day. Although, in my opinion, the more times I poop in a day, the better I feel over all for that day.
