Er, probably. One a day is standard. Ask your GP or chemist. 2 or 3 a day permanently needs investigating. They will ask you about diet, meds, and the consistency. Also if your stools have blood in them. They may give you a kit for a sample.Probably nothing and you are just weird, but worth checking.
PS. I envy you, one of my meds gives me terrible constipation!

between 3 per day to 3 per week is standard depending on lifestyle

i don't have a gp and never have had one.
i am 61 and perfectly well.
my diet is ridiculously healthy.
i take no medication other than red wine.
there is no blood in my stool.
i do not need investigating.

i admit i am weird but my bowel movements are not.

Good man. Excellent work.

I await news of your inclusion on the King's Honours List with bated breath.

yeah.
they used to all belong to the queen, didn't they.
i hadn't thought that charles would've inherited them.

they aren't actually mute.
they hiss.

 

[calumdown]

in point of fact,
does anyone know,
why on earth does the monarch of england own the swans?

what about swans that are immigrants?
do they immediately fall under that umbrella?
what about if they leave and go abroad?

They are passed down the line but I believe it is only unmarked birds

i don't even know what a marked or unmarked bird is.

this is all very confusing.

No wonder he talks so much shit on here :-)

you need investigating

i have always been regular.
within 20mins of getting up and the 2nd within the next hour.
a third may or may not happen.

it's not great for rotting food to be inside you.
i can't imagine what constipation must feel like.
you need investigating :)

I understand that three times a day is at the top end of ‘normal’. I think you just have over active bowels!
I haven’t been for three days now, but I have to take the meds or die. It’s a close run thing.

Or, he hasn’t actually finished the first time round.
I have chronic IBS, with constipation. I know what it’s like not to go to the loo. I have taken medication for a few years now, this to make me go everyday. I miss the meds, I don’t go.

If I miss my meds, I go easily, provided I haven’t collapsed!

You must be on what I am:)

It’s easier to list what I’m not on. Up to 20 pills a day. The madness of old age.

Oh, poor thing:( I’m on some but not that many.

I have to take a few due to being a City supporter, which ages you prematurely.

there's a lot of truth in this.

i don't like to dwell on the lavatory.
when the first time round has finished i wipe and get off the thing.


i wonder if fear of lavatories is a thing.
if there is i have it.

suduko might be the answer.
after the first time round perhaps i should sit and wait and do a puzzle before the second time around turns up.

would that count as only 1 poo a day even though it was spaced out.

One of mine does too.
Can I recommend a spoonful of phsylium husk in water every day.
It's natural and helps.

In 1989, Nike had the brilliant plan to run a campaign ad with Samburu models. They shipped in everything they needed, hired a translator, and got models. The idea for the ad, which included the image below and a 30-second commercial, was to show the Samburu pastoralists in their home turf, rocking them Nikes. Only there was a problem. A translation one.

In the 30-second clip (now conveniently lost), one model was supposed to say “Just Do It” in Maa (the dialect of the Samburu, Maasai, and a few others) and the subtitle would translate for the audience.

However, in the final cut, the model actually says “I don’t want these. Give me big shoes” instead.

It took an anthropologist to point out the mistranslation.

It took years for the director to confess that they didn’t have a Maa translator during the shoot.

Their only translator could only do Kiswahili, which is not even close to Maa, the only language the models could speak.

Everyone on set was saying just whatever they felt like, and Nike thought no one would notice.

Reminds me of the John Wayne film in which he typically won the West, fought the Injuns, etc. The studio hired a group of Sioux (I think) to speak a few lines in their own language without checking what they actually said, which turned out to be highly uncomplimentary about Wayne and the version of American history he portrayed; also very rude and funny (if you spoke Sioux.)
