    Also: I totally want a squatty potty! Our toilets are kind of high, and I’m really short (5’1”), so my feet almost dangle when I sit on the throne, and only tippy toes when I really hafta do some work. It’s not super comfortable and I think a squatty potty would make my experience much more marvelous! :smiley:

    I'm so jealous of most of you. I only go once (maybe twice) a week. However, I read this thread yesterday and ... yep, I pooped last night! Woohoo! And I lost @ 3 lbs. So, that's good. :D

    I put Chia seeds in my steel cut oats... and drink coffee with it. I have clogged 2 toilets already today.

    I go at least twice a day, often 3 times.

    I made steel cut oatmeal with chia seeds this week since I didn't have enough ingredients to make my usual coconut flour pancakes. Holy cow, it's been a very productive few days. It's like I've leveled up my poop game. Ready player #2!

    Several times a day, nearly as often as I urinate - can't say I've ever counted! Varying volume, but usually the most satisfying volume within an hour after having oatmeal and coffee (which I have nearly every day for either breakfast or lunch).

    I used to suffer (literal pain) routinely from IBS-C, and be on an every other day or less schedule. Technically, I presume I still have IBS, but I'm very, very happy that it now rarely expresses itself. There's no countervailing . . . urgency . . . now, either (unless I'm ill or something, of course). I'm happy. ;)

    Most days, I eat 10+ veggie/fruit servings, 25-50g fiber in a day's food. That's not the full explanation for recovery, of course.

    Quoting myself for continuity, and to say this:

    Dang you people: You made me curious, I had to count.

    Seems to be 6-7 times daily, not necessarily all high volume, but good structural integrity, and a nice 'baby bear bed' consistency: Not too hard, not too soft. ;)

    How many grams of chia seeds do you guys use? I usually add 15g to a dish, and i've never had any noticeable results. Maybe i'm not having enough??

    Dang, Freud was born 150 years too early. Just think of the psych theorys he could have drawn from this group and our fascination with poop and pooping!! LOL

    Average 8-9 times a week, once a day + a bonus here or there. Strange shapes due to surgery years ago.
    No need for a squatty potty now, but as I get older and my arthritis gets worse, considering a "right height" potty.
    May need a squatty potty to go with it.

    Once to twice a day usually. Always early in the morning. Then the other time is all over the place- (As far as time is concerned)I am pretty good about using the toilet. ;)

    I just poop when I need to poop. It doesn’t need to be analyzed. Like, do you think about how many times you breathe? It’s just weird. Just poop when you need to poop. Bears don’t worry about it. They just go when they need to go.

    You of all people should know how important pooping is to some people! :lol:@JerSchmare

    I have IBS-D so it depends on the day but it's usually a party 2-6 times in the morning and throughput the day if I have a flareup

    I poo about every 90 minutes while awake, and have to wake up once at night to go again so I never get a full nights sleep. So far my docs haven’t found anything abnormal so I guess it’s “normal”!

    ?? how do you get things done and go places? lol

    I go once a day at the minimum. Depends on a lot of things.
