Answers:
This answer can be most variable, it depends on your normal habits, the food you consume and other variables such as physical activity and the amount of water you drink
For some people pooping does not happen every day - tho personally I think that it is much more comfortable if you can cos you are getting rid of the toxins and rubbish left over from what your body decided it didnt need for you to survive!.
I would be concerned that the longer you leave it the worse and more uncomforable you may become!. Is the food you have been eating in this time - really processed - if so you really need to change some of your eating habits and include things like fruit and vegetables, and grainy type bread, cereal and flour and less fatty foods including things with lots of cheese which can produce constipation which is what I think you may have!.
To get things moving try drinking at least 2 Litres or about 4 pints of water in 24 hours and if you can stomach it try something like some prunes or prune juice which may help soften things up a bit for you
If you have any major concerns about this then go see your doctor but in the meantime I dont think my suggestions for faster relief will do any major harm - unless you have a medical conditon which may be aggravated by eating some of these thingsWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is not normal!.!.!. But you shouldn't use laxative without the Doctor's prescription!. Drink plenty of water first!.!.!. avoid eating foods which will make it more difficult for you to "poop" like bananas, apple, rice and toasted bread!. Eat foods rich in fiber like Pineapple, corn, vegetables!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

for some people that is normal!. i assume since u seem concerned that it's abnormal for you!. i would try a stool softner or mild laxative and see if that helps!. if still no results in another day or if you are currently really uncomfortable or have abdominal distention- see or call a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

PLEASE IGNORE SUNSHINE'S ANSWER!. SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT!.

IT IS INDEED ABNORMAL AND DANGEROUS!. NOT ONLY SHOULD YOU POO EVERY DAY, BUT AT LEAST TWICE!. YOU EAT THREE MEALS A DAY SO TWICE WOULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL

TAKE A LAXATIVE AND GET TO YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY

YOU NEED TO EAT LOTS OF FRUIT, VEGGIES AND FIBER!. NOT LOTS OF FAT AND SIMPLE CARBS!. EXERCISING ALSO HELPS YOUR BOWEL MOVEMENTS SO WALK AT LEAST 30 MINUTES EVERY DAY!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Abnormal, you need to use a laxative ASPA!. This can be very dangerous because of bowel obstructions!. If this happens you will have to be hospitalized, and could require emergency surgery!. Contact your doctor today!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is not abnormal but it is not healthy!. you should see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
