My system has been like this as long as I can remember and I thought most people only went once a day. Or is it just different for everyone?
I heard this once... " If you eat 3 times, you should GO 3 times. "0 -

That's silly.1 -
When my IBS is playing nicely, I go once, like clockwork. I eat plenty of fruit and veg.0

Change your friend if she has got nothing better to do then discussing her "regularity". There are more important things in life...0

This my be your experience on a plant based diet, but it isn't true for everyone. I've been vegetarian for 14 years and I average about 45 grams of fiber a day. I go every other day, which is both normal and "regular."0 -
