How many times do you poop per day

Once. If I am inactive for a while, or eating too much white flour-y stuff, I might skip a couple days. But if that happens, I call in the Senokot at the end of day 2. I don't LIKE being crankypated. I mean, who DOES!?

2

1 or 2 depending on the day.

Once except on my last vacation where it was nonstop.

Whenever I'm hungry.

always at least once, 15 minutes after I get up. Once in a while there will be a second showing. I have a friend who goes once a week. I couldn't live like that.

r6: What?!? Ouch

right r7?

I actually go about 3 times a week.

I always go after my first cup of coffee and then sometimes again if not everything evacuated

I asked my doctor once because I was afraid I do it too often, and she said that it varies greatly from person to person and not to be concerned as long as its regular. It depends on what you eat and what your bodily system is like.

Every morning, after coffee.

I go more when anxious. If I'm due in court (professionally, not as a criminal) it's many times a day.

Very unstealth scat thread.

1-3 Times a day. Usually it’s about 2.

Never sir, never. A gentlemen does not engage in such activities. One moves one’s bowels or relieves one’s self.

Generally once a day, about 30 minutes of so after my morning coffee. Occasionally, if I had anything to eat after about 9pm the night before, I may have to go again later in the day.

Whenever my master opens the sliding door and lets me in the backyard.

rescue-chick, I was friends with a guy in college who pooped once a week! He lived in my floor, we hung out a lot & usually went to the dining hall together, & so I saw what he ate; nothing unusual. But he only pooped once a week. Astounding.

the smell of the rotting compacted fecal material must have been terrible.

r19: did he share this widely?

We ❤️ this thread!

This was a bit eye-opening.

If I went a day without evacuating my bowels I would die. I WOULD JUST DIE!

r19, my friend eats normal stuff and amounts too. Also, her belly never looks bloated so I guess she's fine. I can't imagine walking around with 10 pounds of shit in me by the end of the week though.

Sadly your friend will probably die from colon cancer one day.

Please God, don't let them start describing what the look and smell like! That'd be too much for this old White woman.

One of the best things about being vegan -- easy fast poops two or three times a day.

How many time you want me to poop, OP? I doo it, no problem.

Op you’re asking why? To get off?

Once a day, rarely twice.

Who are these people who only go three times a week?! Sheesh.

What kind of coffee do you people drink? I drink Lavazza espresso at home but it never causes evacuation.

Just once a day, but it usually goes on for about sixteen hours.

By necessity our department only has part-time workers.

"What is Google?"

"Why am I a scat troll?"

"Why am I destined to live with a colostomy bag?"

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why don't I have any friends?"

Go away scat fetish. Contact a doctor if you have shitten’ problems.

Once a day, and like others here about 30 minutes after waking and after a coffee. I like this routine as I then jump into the bath or shower and that’s me for the day. Very rarely nothing happens, but the next day I will probably go twice.

1-3x day. Ideally shouldn't we poop for every meal, like animals and kids?

2x on good days. I love a good poop. So satisfying

2-3x a day which I thought seemed excessive but seeing others in this thread within the same range makes me feel better. I think it’s because post pandemic I 100% work from home now so my body feels more relaxed and ready to poop. Rather than having to hold it in while at work.

Corn? When did I eat corn?

None of your beeswax.

2X per day. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon.

I work from home. If I worked in an office, I probably wouldn't be going in the afternoon. I'm more comfortable with my own bathroom.

“Poop shy”

OP, you type constipated.

At least one shit should be taken on company time per day.

If you are not maintaining poop spume dominance in your work environment, you are not even trying.

Anything from three times a day to every third day is well within the bell curve of normal.

The average human farts 13.2 times a day. Now that you know it, you'll never forget it.

I don't care what the medical experts say: once every 3 days or once per week sounds unhealthy.

Twice usually

[quote] Ideally shouldn't we poop for every meal

No, your food should not be going through your system that fast unless you'd had an intestinal bypass procedure. Then I hear it's explosive diarrhea all day every day.

Twice

Eating stimulate peristalsis. (rhythmic contractions of the colon, which pushes the contents along inside of it). The Greeks observed this 2500 years ago. If people were paying attention, they WOULD go after every meal, but often people think, "I'll wait until it's more convenient". 2 times a day at a minimum (I don't ignore those signals), unless I'm traveling and don't have easy convenient access to a bathroom. People who only go every several days are ignoring those signals and are often the same people who complain about constipation.

What a shitty thread

[quote]I asked my doctor once because I was afraid I do it too often, and she said that it varies greatly from person to person and not to be concerned as long as its regular. It depends on what you eat and what your bodily system is like.

Being regular is the key thing. If you're not regular, you really need to reconsider your diet - both what you eat and the timing of meals. If you eat crap at irregular intervals, you're not ever going to be regular.

Every morning between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. . Upon seeing me in the bathroom my Siamese Trixie will immediately go use her own poopy box so we are synchronized in that regard.

Usually always 10-15 after waking up; sometimes a second time before work/getting going in the am. Lately also around lunch or after, and after dinner. It's about 3-4 now times per day, whereas before it would be less.

Don't know if that means if have IBS now or what.

[quote]It's about 3-4 now times per day, whereas before it would be less.

YIKES - that sounds...excessive, not to mention tiring and tiresome.

R56 it's not my favorite, that's for sure.

R51 exactly. I shit between meals. My friend who is a GI doc said it’s important and not to ignore those signals. Babies and adults with fecal incontinence shit between feedings because they can’t ignore those signals or hold it.

Looking at a CT scan result, a doctor told me I was full of shit, but he said some people just carry more than others. It’s only a problem if it never comes out. If I go for five days without using the toilet, I can pretty easily fill the bowl when I do go, but that takes care of it. It’s a great time to weigh yourself after dropping those extra pounds of waste.

How long would that typically take r59?

I’m a regular 2 - 3x a day shitter and it rarely takes more than a minute each time. I attribute this to a high fiber diet and plenty of water. Honestly, sometimes it takes me longer to pee than take a dump.

4 or 5 times a day—one of less pleasant side effects of bariatric surgery in my case (still worth it—I lost 110 lbs and have kept it off 15 years).

One can google information on what is a normal/regular bowel movement. Taking a recommended laxative periodically when one is irregular or constipated is a common practice, particularly as one approaches or reaches mature age. Certainly proper diet, including fiber, and drinking plenty of water/fluids, are fundamental factors.

If a problem is persistent, consult a physician.

Discussing defaecated matter must be an attractive subject for a segment of DL. Yuck!

yeah, I also can't understand people who spend an hour on the toilet. 2 minutes tops. I suspect it's usually phone internet usage, not actually pooping.

It is gas. There is a ton of it promising something. Then, the asshole, with a thunderous boom, shoots out widow’s weeds - barest of memories of bowel movements from the past. Then, your prostate finally releases another pee you didn’t expect. Clean up. Go to pull your pants up, and this is when you may finally experience producing what should be considered a cat turd.

I leave my phone at my desk. This is a zen experience that takes 12 minutes minimum. Concentration is required.

3/4 times a day. But I also eat 3,500 kcal to sustain a very intensive daily workout regime.

The range of normal is 3 times a week (every other day) to 3 times a day (after each meal). A lot of variables come into play like fiber intake and hydration levels, and different foods trigger different responses in different people.

Within 45 minutes of waking up. Then two or three visits to the John within a 30 minute period and I’m done for the day.

R65 Are you training for something?

[quote]3/4 times a day. But I also eat 3,500 kcal to sustain a very intensive daily workout regime.

Faulty logic. If you're eating high quality calories necessary for workouts and building muscle, you wouldn't have that much waste.

Once when I wake up and then I explode again after a cup of iced espresso.

Only once a day? That's no fun!

A proper and eloquent lady doesn’t discuss such a vulgar matter.

Wait.

You guys POOP?

If I don’t eat a lot it’ll be three days.

Huh r69? Calories from food are burned for energy but what goes in must come out.

Like most people my age (70) my bowel movements are carefully monitored. At the first sign of constipation I immediately drink a glass of prune juice that is always kept at the ready in my fridge.

[quote] At the first sign of constipation I immediately drink a glass of prune juice

Do you know what they make that out of?

Trying to be a good mom to little Donnie Lindz.

Am a proud parent. So is the papa.

r77, this is just a wild guess, and I'm probably way off. Prunes?

3-4. I have a bad stomach.

I am thankful that I pretty much go like clockwork within an or hour so after morning coffee, but it's also typical for me to not go the first three days I am staying somewhere else.

R82 Three days? Jesus!

Usually one good poop in the morning does it, before I take my morning shower. But about once a week I will have nothing in the morning and will end up going after lunch at some point. And occasionally I will need to go a second time later in the day but that's the exception.

Depending on the person it's probably not that big a deal to not need to go one full day, but If you don't go a second day, then you need to ask yourself why. Are you eating a well rounded nutritional diet?

Every since I started taking Metamucil.....

5x/week

Everyday or so. I don't really like to go; too messy and smelly. Very upsetting.

Three times a day into your mouth, OP, except you'd like it.

Metamucil, OP. For clean ass shits. The berry flavour is tasty.

Once a day in the morning.

What else do you wanna know, OP? Color, shape, texture?

Hey! Is OP a weedhead?

As a scary weed poop story (with only one second hand example), a coworker said her sister thought she had crones disease, but her doctor ruled out Crones and suggested that her consistent weed habit may cause the same effect - the body passes more food without using it.

I haven’t been on a weed diet in a while because it makes me especially cranky, but if I get better bathroom results, I will let everyone and their brother know about it.

Once a day.

Every day.

All day long.

The problem is when I send a sequoia down the flume and it rips me a new one. It makes me bleed, so I feel like I know what menstruation is like.

^^*.

R91, no one says "weed head." Wtf? It"s "pot head."

And it's Crohn's Disease.

Make Boom For Daddy

Usually 5 or more times a day.

If you have multiple waves from the same bombing run, it shouldn’t count as separate incidents. It people need to take a break during the process of pushing it all out, it’s still one load.

One stops counting at a certain age.

R99 is minimizing my ass trauma and I won’t have it!

A lady never reveals her secrets

[quote]Huh [R69]? Calories from food are burned for energy but what goes in must come out.

All calories are not the same. Calories derived from higher quality sources will produce less waste. 200 calories of potato chips have almost zero nutritional value compared to 200 calories from lean meats.

Humans evolved to each much more fiber than we get in the 21st century. Our ancestors were primarily vegetarian hunter gatherers, in which the tools for hunting were extremely primitive and by no means guaranteed to succeed. So lots of roots, berries, nuts, and leaves were consumed for survival. Fiber is indigestible stuff that passes through the digestive system almost intact. A lean piece of salmon has almost no fiber. Much of it will be broken up by digestive juices and there will be very little waste. However, gastroenterologists feel they have ample evidence to recommend to all of us that we radically increase our fiber intake - and not just by taking a teaspoon of metamucil every day, but by eating whole grains, fruits with their skins on, and tons and tons of vegetables. Not only does that make the colon work better, but it also creates a rich biome in the gut, which helps with every aspect of health, including immunity and hormone production. I guarantee that people who eat that way will not be having only three bowel movements a week! However, they will also produce more gas than people who consume a fiber free diet.

As often as I need to.

R89: Metamucil is key for clean pinch offs. I take it daily and my ass is clean as a whistle all day long.

[quote] All calories are not the same. Calories derived from higher quality sources will produce less waste. 200 calories of potato chips have almost zero nutritional value compared to 200 calories from lean meats.

Bullshit (no pun intended). Eat ten apples and tell me if you don't take a huge shit. Eat the same amount (calorie-wise) in potato chips and you'll have less "output."

Is there a difference between Metamucil and Miralax?

Yes, Metamucil is just psyllium husk with maybe some flavor. Miralax is some type of chemical laxative.

R108, Miralax is a laxative that will make you shit. Metamucil is fiber that will help clean cholesterol from your arteries and will bulk up your stool so you have healthier digestion.

If you start taking Metamucil start with a quarter of the recommended dose and work your way up to the full dose over a couple of weeks or you could end up with horrible gas and bloating. You also have to drink plenty of water for it to work effectively.

Most people don’t get nearly enough fiber for their health. Men should get 30 to 38 grams a day which can be hard to get without a supplement.

R110, I’m recording that and somehow I have to give you credit if it works for me. This body is lean for its age, but I’d like to reduce my poop schedule to a FEW times a day instead of the 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening. I don’t have colon cancer, thank God.

I drink 8 oz prune juice and it keeps me movin'!

On the toilet or on the rimming chair?

Once a day. I usually go 30-45 minutes after getting up like most people, but if I'm really tired or lacking sleep the urge to go comes way later in the morning. Its like my bowels are still fast asleep, even after coffee. Its annoying and I now take fennel seed at night which works well to keep things moving.

I wonder how many times OP has gotten off reading all of the inane replies??

I remember reading once that supposedly if you squeeze out a turd at the exact moment you shoot a load it supposedly feels quite good. Never tried it though. I never seem to be erect when shitting.

[quote]I remember reading once that supposedly if you squeeze out a turd at the exact moment you shoot a load it supposedly feels quite good. Never tried it though. I never seem to be erect when shitting.

It would be the same sensation as when you are ejecting a large butt plug while cumming, so just recall how that felt.
