It is normal 1 to 3 times a day. It is unhealthy to not go ever day. If you are constipated go to wal-mart and buy so fiber it will do the trick. If you are really constip. milk of mag will clean you out and not give you the tummy ache.
I believe average healthy bowel movements is 1-2 per day. With constipation, maybe 4-5 a week.
a perfect system would let you poop after every meal, but i would say most people poop once a day or sometimes twice. eat lots of fiber, you can buy flavorless powder to mix in your drinks or food, or raisins/prunes and fruits and veggies with sknis are other sources
I go once every day.
If you aren't able to go, try drinking LOTS of water. If I go a few days without, I know I haven't been drinking enough water...
I try to drink at least 2 litres (2 nalgene's) a day, and then I go every day. Although if I dont drink this much, it's once every 2 days.
If you're having major troubles, you can also go get some xslax. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to actually spell it.)
Good luck!
