Stool movement?
I have noticed that I'm having bowel movents every 3 days or so. Is this normal and how often is yours? I heard that our body is using more nutrients now that we are eating healthier fats compared to carbs and processed stuff thus making less waste to expell. Is this true at all? What do you do to move your bowels?
