Iam a 30 year old mom, and I was talking to another mom at the bus stop this morning, and she was telling me how sick with the flu she was, and about how she felt like a guy, since she was on the bowl twice a day, and that normally females should go only 2-3x per week. I was floored, as I go once every single day, and occassionally twice a day. how often is normal, girls?

Majority of Americans who eat a consistent meal usually go once every day, sometimes two. To go 2-3x a week would mean she's eating half or 1/3 of what she's suppose to be eating. Or she's on some kind of liquid diet. Either way, not healthy for you.

You are the normal one. Most people--do go to the bathroom once or twice each day. If you are only going 2 to 3 times each week that would be very uncomfortable and not very healthy for your colon and stomach.

Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but the general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Less than 3 movements a week may indicate constipation, and more than 3 watery stools a day could indicate diarrhea.

Wow! Two or three times a week sounds like a problem to me! I go at least once a day, sometimes twice.

Daily is normal even twice or thrice a day is ok. but to believe that twice a week is totally abnormal thing and must be causing some other problems

It's different for everyone, male or female, but 2-3 times a week is not enough.

Daily is normal. Sounds like she is constipated!
I usually go daily... unless I have a lot of coffee. Ha! Then it is hard telling how often I have to go.
I just checked this site:
http://www.digestivesplus.com/constipation.html
They say anywhere from 1-3 times daily is normal!

no i dissagree...it depends on your diet and what your intake in a day is. It also depends on your body..some people do only go a few days a week...but you should be eliminating at least once a day...if not then your fibre intake isn't very good..it's not good to not go that often.....

I go once a day. I eat a lot of high fiber foods to assist my diet and that helps me.
