    Twice a day! I'm pretty regular...and if I don't poop one out at least daily, I get pretty twitchy!

    Taking protein shakes has been an experience though, you must drink more water people, enough said!! lol

    everyday. doesn't everybody?

    No. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Maybe twice a week. I've started taking Align, though, and it seems to be helping.

    I have IBS too, I either go once every few days or a few times a day - no way of predicting it. I'm way more regular if i drink lots of red wine but that isn't helping my diet....

    Every 2 to 3 days if I don't take laxatives. I have to take them almost everyday, it's sad because I used to be very regular (at least twice a day!). I'm taking probiotics now, but I still need the laxatives. I've had issues every since I deployed a few years ago. Water isn't an issue since I rarely think anything other than water. I'm not a fan of soda's or sweet drinks and I've already had the equivalent of 5 cups of water this morning!

    I used to really struggle with getting blocked up. Taking Detox Plus Colon Cleanse Capsules at the moment and need ing to go atleast 3 times a day at the moment. No wonder I used to be so bloated only needing to go once every 3-4 days. Loving all the toilet humor! :laugh:

    Speaking of pooping...anyone ever done an upper-decker? If so...was it in your own house?


    There was this one time at a party... wait, what?

    My fiance would go 2-3 days without pooping..on purpose. (his sister probably told him that because she's a model).
    He does that because when he eats, he gets fuller quicker, and most times he's not even that hungry. (not even sure why he does this, he has extremely fast metabolism & he's a walking skeleton(<3))
    He told me about it, & i did it for about a month..He was actually right. It does fill me up quicker, & I didnt pig out like i used to.

    For sure. It makes me feel sick. I don't want to eat at all on those days.

    Certain types of jelly might help things come out a little easier...

    I pooped today -- the first time in over a week.

    My protein intake is continuously topped out at over 150 g and I am pretty good at keeping my fiber up to par,


    I used to poop regularly when I ate like a heifer. It's mind boggling, really.

    OMG I would die. If I go less than 4 times a day I feel aweful. And I eat like a heifer maybe that's why, no really it has always been 4 or more every day. And no I don't have IBS people.:laugh:

    Because one of my fabulous MFPals wants to know, let's compare notes.



    Me? Depending on how much fiber I eat (I average between 30-50 grams/day), anywhere from twice a day to once every two days (<--- that makes me sad when it happens)

    how did i know it was you Cory? I saw that title and thought....."no..... no, it's not her.... she wouldn't...... "

    I was supposed to write a philosophy article, but I got stuck reading this. I may not be mature enough for uni. :D

    To reply the topic: Anything from 2-3 times a day to every two days. Depends on how much fiber I get.

    One - twice a day, particularly since I upped my protein intake. Happy about this, except if I poop at work it can can take up to 3 flushes for my now buoyant poops to go. My office has poor water pressure and sometimes I have to wait ages for the cystern to refill :huh:

    I'm glad someone was brave enough to ask this! Since I started MFP and eating really healthy I DID notice a serious decline in "activity" there... lol Like once a week!! But, before when I was not paying much attention to what I ate it WAS almost everyday. Thinking maybe I'm eating less crap, so my body is actually USING a much higher percentage of what I eat... equaling less waste...? Right? :) It's probably my body just readjusting though, and upping my fiber has helped! I think twice a week would be fine with me... but NOT ONCE! lol.

    I alaways aim to poop everyday. But I mean sometimes once in a while I skip a day (usually when a change in diet occurs).

    this is really unhealthy because you are holding in a bunch of toxins your body needs to release. that's the whole point of pooping.

    I used to poop once every 2 days or so, then I played with the Paleo diet for about a month, then went back to my normal eating ways (still healthy, just wanted to see what it would do after Paleo) and now I poop 2-3 times a day!

    I have one bowel movement daily. Maybe twice, depending on what and how much I eat.
