How often do you poop?

One of my sister's actually works with me (in insurance) and all week she hasn't been able to poop. She just pooped after 5 days of not being able to and came running around like she just won the lottery. I can only imagine how backed up I would be if I didn't go for that long. I usually poop at least 2 times a day.

Re: How often do you poop?

  • I'm no expert... but I hear pooping a lot is a sign of good metabolism and healthy digestion. I'm sure 4 or 5 times a day is not so good... everything in moderation :P.

    I usually poop once a day, in the morning, right after coffee. You could set your clock by me lol.

    ETA: My BIL (ew) poops after EVERY meal... he eats, and then he poops... it's like he has a tape worm lol.

  • I have IBS and go about once a day.  Now, when I eat foods that are high in fat, go ahead and bump that number to at least 2-3.  Me and DH both have "bowel issues", so there is typically one of us heading to the bathroom after every meal.  I can't imagine not being able to go for 5 days!!!

    I think this is a man thing. I've heard of several who do this. DH is one of them.

    I usually go about once a day. But the week before AF I go a lot more often.

     It sounds like your sister needs to eat more fiber. Diet has a lot to do with regularity.

    Random: DH said he read somewhere that the average person farts 14 times a day.

    I know I do. And especially after I eat broccoli. I always tell DH he loves my stinky a*ss.

  • I think the poop after every meal is a man thing too.  Dh usually does that as well. 

    I go about once a day, in the morning. You can't set a watch to me, but it is my normal. 

    If I hadn't gone in 4-5 days I'd probably be miserable!!  Poor thing--she must feel like a (literal) weight is off her body!!

  • Erm, I was figuring there's be a clicky poll Embarrassed
  • Usually once a day but if I am home on the weekends it's about 3-5 in the morning. Have no idea why. My husband tells me I must really be full of chit!
  • I have IBS and I go quite often.  DH says that if he can't find me, he knows I'm in the bathroom.

  • 5 days would be terrible!  I was talking to my nurse friend who used to work in a "butt clinic" as she called it and had to deal with "impactions" on a regular basis, she was cracking me up but, omg, i can't imagine how miserable that would be!
