I have no idea. I poo when I need to. I’m sure I poo most days, other then that I can’t be more specific.
The reason I am posting to this thread is my male child. Since he was a tiny tot he has been a poo-when-the-conditions-are-right-even-if-that-is-once-a -week type. When he was a wee chap we had constant battles “You MUST need a poo! It’s been a week!” but he dug his heels in and shat when the planets aligned. He has always been healthy (very healthy) but you do need scuba breathing gear to approach the bathroom after the weekly shit.
I have no idea what is supposed to be healthy but I can tell you the variable is huge.
Typically twice a day. First one is mere minutes after my first sip of coffee. Second one usually between 15-20 minutes after first. Then I’m done for the day.
Oh, I’m not the only freak like this. It’s so annoying – I just went! I mutter to my system as I head back about 30 minutes after the first. :mad:
(Hubby’s no help: he says I should just take a book and wait out the interim, but…well, women don’t DO that ‘read for hours in the loo’ thing.)
Once every two or three days, depending upon what I’ve been eating. I don’t eat much fast food, but when I do have a McDonalds or Jack in the Box binge, I can reliably expect a next-day pooping. A night of heavy beer drinking will also give me a “ne’day’r”
At home I have my morning ritual of awaken, arise, shave, shower, shit. Every day. Like clockwork. When I travel, however, all bets are off. My system goes from clockwork to “a clockwork orange”. During a one week out of town trip I may poop twice a day or twice the entire trip. I eat basically the same thing when I travel as I eat at home, I have no idea what causes the system re-boot. All I know is the only thing consistant about my travel craps is their lack of consistancy (how’s that for a poopy pun).
I have a big one about an hour or two after I get up, and then I poop two or three more times during the day. Always have. My husband, until about 3 months ago, was one of those once-a-day types. But he’s upped his fiber intake (I’ve always eaten a lot of fiber), and he’s started going more often now. His doctor told him that 3 times a day is just fine, so he’s trying to quit worrying about it.
No! You need more “roughage” in your diet, as my mother used to say. After all, “green” means “go”.
My husband complains about this. It ruins his Sunday morning lie-in; has to get up, go, and then head back to bed.
I’m a once-a-day in-the-morning kind of person. It’s the big mug of hot, strong tea that gets the system going. Then sometimes there is the 20-minutes-later encore. I can do it all over again if I have more hot, strong tea after work.
Speak for yourself! I’ve been a bathroom reader forever. There are more books and magazines on the shelves in the bathroom than there are almost anywhere else. In fact, I’m usually reading three books at once…on by the bed, one in the bathroom, one in the breakroom at work (which gets dragged into the bathroom at work as needed.)
Why would you think women don’t read in the bathroom? Even when the kids were little, I’d read in the bathroom when I finally got around to going late at night. It’s sometimes the only place I can get any peace and quiet!

I go once, or occasionally twice a day, with the first deposit being a few hours after breakfast. I eat muesli for breakfast nearly every day during the week which is why I’m regular like that. If I don’t have muesli I usually go every other day.
My fiancee goes once a week, sometimes less. She could eat the same things as me and she still won’t be really regular. She sometimes has to use some kind of laxative or it’ll be close to two weeks before she gets rid of anything. I have no idea where in the hell she keeps it. She’s about chin-high to me, eats close to the same volume of food, isn’t fat, and doesn’t seem to bloat. Her intestines must be close to full most of the time. Maybe her body is really, really efficient.
Speaking of regularity, it’s around 11:00. Time for the morning dump.
I unload cargo whenever it’s needed. How often is that? Um, if I’m eating decent food, then it works out to about once a day.
If i’m living off of table scraps and miscellaneous, it seems to be once every other day.
Last time I had pizza, 3 minutes after the last slice, I had to take the Browns to the Super Bowl. Last week, I had some spaghetti and same thing, almost after the last bite went down, I had to stock the pond with brown trout. Seems that if I have something I haven’t eaten in a while, it races through my system.
I bet if I had some seafood right now, I’d unleash a mighty butt serpent very soon after eating.
Yeah, wish my dad would come in here and proclaim how he shits right after eating breakfast and lunch.
I have no idea how often I go. I like to be blissfully unaware of such things. Then again, don’t know to the second when my period will come either. Same theory.
12 years with my husband, I’ve walked in to one stinky bathroom and it was only because he didn’t catch me in time. I have theorized that my husband shits quarters. I consider myself fortunate that I am not made aware of his colonic goings on.
That being said, he obsesses about our daughter. If she doesn’t poop at least once a day, he’s running for the laxatives (he bought). She’s fairly regular and will go in trends, in the morning for a while, in the evening for a while, a few times a day sometimes. I usually will lie to him and say she’s pooped even if she hasn’t, to protect her poor little intestines from his hypervigilance.
