How often do you use the restroom (number 2)?

Well you asked:

A couple of times a day. I'm like a race horse now that I upped my vegetable intake.

Edit: Drinking a lot of water helps too.

You think all of that crap is sitting in your system instead of your body expelling it?

Any tips on becoming more regular? I get around 38 grams of fiber a day, and drink lots of water!?

I'm telling you...lots of raw vegetables. Works like a charm.

YAY! Poop talk! My fav!

So - Ive seen more dcotors and other "professionals" that I can count to figure out "whats wrong' with me since i was in diapers.... (see other posts for more graphic, humiliating experiences).

Regardless of diet, I found that I went every 3- 4 days, at best. Oh and if I go away for the weekend or take a vacation?? FORGET IT!! Not going AT ALL. Sometimes I would try to gorge on chocolate ice cream, a ton of coffee, a three week old roast beef sandwich that had been sitting out in the sun to make myself sick just so maybe i could go (JK...well, most of it is actually true) - but nothing worked.

Up until I did advocare (not endorcing at all, just stating facts) I was taking miralax every day and went about every other day. The only reason i stopped for advocare was because i was advised to by my "coach". However, on the Advocare, the first 10 ays involved a fiber drink, which made me go everyday.... I kinda fell in love with the fiber drink because I was on metamucil double dose for years and not only was it NASTY, but it didn't work. This fiber drink worked, and I conviced myself it was better for my body than miralax, which is basically a synthetic.

Currently Im maintaining going every day, ok, sometimes every other day, by taking 2 fiber chewables every morning, drinking at least 120 ounces of water a day, limiting dairy, and my new fav - fish oil!! Man I HATE fish, I wont go near it, but Im in love with fish oil, maybe its in my head, but Im fidning it helps me go!!!! i also still do miralax about once a week ...but hell, thats better than every day! Ive triend veggies, all veggies, all liquid diets, pro biotics, fiber bars... and rancid food.... the combo Im doing now seems to be working.... and yeah, i still buy the advocare fiber drink like every 4 months - I liek to have it on hand just in case, and quite frankly, Ill pay any amount for anything that helps me go...

I've been having trouble going regularly here lately and coffee used to do it for me but not anymore. I won't go for 3-4 days and when I do go it's not always fun. I was told to increase my fiber or take fiber pills and see if that works, so I'm gonna give that a shot. Any other suggestions are welcomed because this is getting old.

Wow...I have your same issues and honestly I did not realize it was so unusual, but I've been suspecting it lately. Since I started taking prescription diet pills, it has gotten exceptionally awful. I go like once a week at best. Stopped taking them last week and it has gotten slightly better. Was this fiber drink a prescription only thing? I've never even heard of Advocare, but I'm head to Google, don't worry.

I was pretty regular but now that I am eating better it is like 2-3 times day. If went a day without I would think something was wrong. A week and I would be heading for the ER. lol
