I used to do it every 1-3 days a week now its like 1.Is this normal? My eating habits haven't changed much,but I do drink alot of soda,could that be the problem? Yea I know I know this is a pretty n@sty subject but please bare with me lol.Hell everybody does it so no need to be 'ugh" about it.How often do u use the bathroom and whats your diet/what do u eat.

It is normal to go once for every 2 days. It is also normal to go every day.

A very noticeable change in bowel habits can be an early sign of a serious health issue so Id check with a doc. Are you an active person? have you tried exercising to increase ur metabolism and get ur bowels going? have you eaten anything with fiber to help you out? Any medications u are taking? Marijuana smoker? Are u under stress?

I need more pics of you so I can fully[..]ess this lol.

I dont think there is a certain # of times you are supposed to !! per day. I go like twice everyday. I find that the more protein I take in the more I !!. I have a great diet but I was using the bathroom the same amount of times per day even when I had a terrible diet.

this thread is turning sad now. Heads just givin half[..]sed advice just trying to gash up

I'm pretty sure that is not a good sign. You should be taking a dump atleast once a day. More fibre will get your bowels moving. Drinking more water will help you as well.

Start to get more fiber. I know that there is a new yogurt out that is designed especially for women to promote regular bowel movements. Its pretty cost efficient as opposed to doctor prescribed medicine. Take some things that contain fiber..metamucil, flax seed oil, etc. Try that out for a while. Put down the soda becuase htat just will cause you to have problems later in life...raise the risk to become diabetic. Also start to drink water...maybe a half gallon per day. [pic] This is all on you though...you determine what your body does by what you put in it and how you operate it.

You prolly got 10-15 pounds of !! backed up in your colon...

take a laxative and eat lots of fruits, vegges, nuts etc throughout the day...

if u dont drink enough water there is no way u are going to reach the norm i take a dump bout times a week Working out seems to help

02-01-2009, 11:07 AM

Yeah...eat more fiber, drink some green tea to speed up your metabolism...start to do cardio...

I !! everyday usually. My metabolism is starting to slow down, but because of the gym, it speeds it up.

02-01-2009, 05:40 PM

normally its either once or twice a day with me.

If you drink a lot of soda, it will give you that "full" feeling, and you wont eat a lot of food. Which could explain it.

Are you taking any pain k!ller medications? Those usually cause it sometimes, but if you aren't doing any of the above, to an extreme. Get the fiber, as they mentioned, and reduce the soda, not even diet. It's bad for you. Like 1 cup is a day is ok, but it should be a lot of water.

[pic] i was thinking the same thing....at least once a day but once a week isnt healthy. put more protein, fiber, and milk in your diet and you will go often. cut back on the soda and drink more juice instead.

Most juices have just as much sugar as soda does. [pic]
