Okay just super curious.

I remember going to a week long cottage trip with a bunch of friends and there was only one bathroom... so yeah the topic came up.

I was so surprised to hear one friend poops like once every few days?

He is healthy, eats well, etc etc.

Anyhoo I basically go twice in the morning and I'm done... but yeah it's daily.

I've always thought that being "regular" is a sign of good health (digestive anyways).

How often do you go? And is there a pattern if you are healthy VS unhealthy?

Roughage helps. Eat your veggies! Me? I go once a day as long as I have a salad. If I go all caveman & eat just meat I might skip a day.......or two.

Depends on how much I eat. At least once a day, shortly after breakfast.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but know a few people who seem to need their morning buzz to make it happen.

regular bm's are CRITICAL. abnormal bm schedule is red alert that you are on the path to serious chronic disease. too few is bad, too many is bad. i go every morning about the same time (since i cleaned up my diet and my life)

What's regular is going to vary between people. Diarrhea or constipation isn't regular, but with healthy people it could vary between twice a day to every other day and still be within the regular range.

Once a day, right after I smell coffee in the morning.
