Hi all, seeing this is a fitness site, I felt it would be ok to ask this question--does anyone know how often you should poop a day? for me it's usually 1x a day sometimes every other day, is this good? or bad?:sad:

That's pretty good, I think I heard somewhere that you should have a BM at least 3x a week. As long as you are hydrated and your fiber consumption is good you shouldn't have anything to worry about.0

I think that once a day is right on track. My doctor had just told me I shouldnt go more than 3 days without a BM0
-
Well i i usually go once every morning which is fine. been doing mfp for only a week and have been going 3 times a day! Is this ok ?0
-
As long as it's happening regularly enough that it's just normal background noise in your life does it matter? There is no one specific number that is "right". Let it go! (Um, the worry that is. The other should be self regulating. LOL)0

1-3x per day. Am I weird?0
-
I think how much you poop shouldn't matter. As long as your poop is healthy (not rock hard, or super watery)0
-
I"m with ^^^ 1-3x's per day, usually within an hour or so of eating. My wife is usually once a day in the morning.0

Everyone is different. Once a day might be fine, every other day might be fine. It all depends.
I go once in the morning, like clockwork, between 7:30 and 8:00. When I don't, I know something ain't right.0 -
I saw on Dr. Oz once that the more "S" shaped your poops are the healthier they are. I also have a book about poop (inside joke, long story) and apparently the healthiest poops are one-wipers. I think that going more than once a day as long as they aren't the gross liquidy kind (that means you've eaten something that doesn't agree with you and are likely on your way to dehydration. ALSO: I'm sorry for being so blunt). I know entirely too much about poop.0

1-3x /day also.0

I generally go once or twice a day.0

:blushing: As long as when you go it's healthy...everyone is different. I go 3 times a day most days, it doesn't take long after I eat my meals...0
-
I've read anywhere between 3x per week and 3x per day is normal. For me, 1-2x per day is average.0

Well in the past I have gone anything from once a fortnight to 25 times a day....but then I have a bowel disease
You are totally fine. Sounds really healthy0 -

Thanks for the info! I've always wondered about regularity :blushing:0 -

"S" shape!?! Like hovering over the bowl to make a design on a Latte'?0 -

I'm going to try this. How should I log it? Cardio, or Strength?0 -
Medically speaking...as a retired nurse, we didn't worry unless a patient had gone more than 3 days without a BM. Day 4 got you a dose of milk of magnesia in most cases....threat of that usually produced a BM after day 3. LOL But some docs were not concerned until day 7.0
