There is not "normal " here... How do you feel? A lot of this depends on your diet. A high fiber diet will cause you to go more often, a poor diet will cause you to go fewer times. Do you drink plenty of water? As you get older your system slows down too. See a doctor if you are having any specific heath problems. If you want to go more, eat some high fiber cereal in the morning and drink plenty of fluids, or eat more raw fruit and vegetables.....There is no normal here...just what is right for you.

according to the doctor, it's normal to go every other day and up to 3 days. I think most people go once or twice a day.
It's normal not to go everyday.

We are all different in this aspect. Some people "poop" like clock work, same time every day. Some people can go 2-3 days. Certain foods like lettuce, fruits, fatty foods can make you go more. If you are pooping every couple of days you are within the normal range.

What is healthy and regular for one person is not the same for another. If your stomach hurts all the time and you feel uncomfortable or bloated, you should see a doctor. If you have questions, ask him or her.

a normal bowel movement would be 3-5 times a week. daily bowel movement could mean that the nutrients in the food you eat daily don't get properly absorbed.
