I deficate ever three days, what is the normal time span?

Question

I do eat the average 3-4 meals a day

Answer 1

every 3 days? you need to eat more veggies. my grandma said you need to make a deposit daily. you out somethin in everyday soemthing should come out everyday

Answer 2

Normal, but some studies recommend at least once daily to ensure long term colon health and reduce the possibility of colon cancer in later years. Eat more fiber and drink plenty of water. An apple a day does keep the doctor away from your anus.

Answer 3

I go twice a day. Once first thing in the morning, and once in the afternoon, shortly after lunch. Occasionally before bed. Guess I'm pretty regular! LOL

Answer 4

three days, not typically. depends on how much fiber is in your diet? are you physically active? IBS? or other intestinal conditions? also wondering how long it's been that way. usually wanna go once a day at least on ave. good luck!

Answer 5

I think everyone is somewhat different.

I strive to comsume alot of fiber, and I visit the porcelain potty twice a day.

Answer 6

"Normal" ranges from 3 times a day to every third or fourth day. You are within that range.

Answer 7

everyone is different the only thing to worry about with defication is if you have blood in it or if its pencil thin.

Answer 8

that's not good the average is atleast once a day. take some laxatives. btw strange and disturbing topic.

Answer 9

I do too. Don't worry about it. If that is what your body is telling you to do, go with it. I actually even pick on my boyfriend who goes everyday. That just seems like too much to me. As long as you go when you feel like you need to then you'll be fine.

Answer 10

This one made me laugh. I believe that is normal with the exception you are feeling ill.
