I used to poop 3-5 times per week. When I was 30, I started drinking coffee in the morning for the first time. Within 20 mins of the first cup, my body just releases everything very quickly and smoothly in 10 secs. It's part of my morning routine for 7 years now đ¤Ł
Coffee drinkers know itâs really to stay regular, which is good for health.
We say itâs for taste and energy but itâs really our secret to regularity đ¤Ł!
â@@godiswithyou.5358 it's all fun and games until you realize there is no more toilet paper
@@Master.Baiting_to_you lol we Indians and pakistanis use water
@@MrDarkTFD1 what if there is emergency and you are out of "waters"
Iâve been pooping once a week and Iâm scared. I canât control it and I try ngl Iâm scared
Oh, i usually poop about 3-5 times a week and everyone said u should be having 7-21 every week so thanks for making this video. You explained everything very clearly
21 a week? wtf how can people poop 3 times a day? :0 As some who poops once a week all his life I see this as an absolute win
i poop 3 times a day bro, before school, after school and at night
@@Adsypoo I feel sorry for you bro. It's like you don't digest your meals and it immediately goes out đ
@@Adsypoo bro has 2 minute shits my shits are 20 minute -1 hour
â@@redrocker1582are u kidding u should poop everyday atleast once......
Also really depends on how much you consume .. If you do not eat a lot you not going to go a lot. Something has to be put in for poo to come out
I poop 3 to 4 times a day. Well shaped poops
Legend đ
Me and my body have an agreement saying that I poop every morning.
Edit: My bowel movement feels pretty good.
What you eat daily?
@@kbb649 I eat pizza
Pizza is the goat
I eat fries sometimes also
@@patrickquinlan2828 lol thank you
Im obsessed with pooing, if i dont poo i get anxiety thinking i have colon cancer, have dioreeha then small bits only come out ,
You may have health OCD, may be consider to consider.
3x a wk? I sometimes go 3x a day! đ¤Śđžââď¸
That's great!
@@wamz9191 ummm thanks I think. đ¤Ł
Yeah even i am shocked how can someone only go 3 times in week....anyone should go everyday once atleast...
In a way yes but it is depend on what a person is eating. Like Dr NK Sharma says eat with hunger true hunger because when you don't eat with hunger that mean no juice secretion if you eat with true hunger whether food is good or bad body will digest it . But that doesn't mean you changed your habits ,fibre and you will poop next morning,it is body language motion will come with it's own time it has weak juices because of the past lifestyle so it will pass the motion slow so motion can be happen in two days â@@A_cat_aspirant
â@@A_cat_aspirant NO
This was a perfect and simple explanation. Thank you Dr.
Yes it was
I must poop everyday before going out. I can't bear the thought of walking around with "stuffs" carrying inside my body! And OMG the idea of some people poop once a week simply freaks me out. Maybe i'm abnormal.
Maybe you are. Did you know that you can't clean 100% of the food you eat. So there is always some of it left in you đ
I am Sir Poopalot 2-3x daily. The best thing about this is that my poop donât stink. I mean is like a Picasso that I wish I didnât have to flush. Itâs perfect from the shape, color and size. Did I mention it donât stink. Guess my diet is working
Picasso at pooping đŠ đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
WHAT DO YOU EAT
@@bperez8656 I try to keep low intake of sugars, carbs, salt and gluten. Is not to say I donât eat that at all but i try as much to avoid them. Fast every day for 12hrs. Latest meal by 8pm means I can eat breakfast at 8am. 64oz of water minimum daily. Eventually your body wonât crave this things. Also no alcohol of any kind. Hope that helps but everyone is different. Talk to your doc. I am just an online Bot
â@@mrprfct7069 12 hours of fast and you use toilet 3 times a day? Either you lie or you count piss breaks too
â@@Master.Baiting_to_you i think he fasts in his sleep.. he says his last meal is 8pm.... first meal at 8 am... it's possible to poop that much, if he is eating during the day
Thanks for your hospitality
Thank you
I usually go if i eat something. Out with the old in with the new thing going on. I occasionally get the green apple splatters when i eat anything with fiber or has a lot of grease.
If you're having a meal with a friend outside, would you ask your friend to excuse you for a "me-time" moment in the washroom?
I shit at least 3 times a day bruh
same here
@@prabhanjannavarathna6466same I think itâs weird when people say they only poop once a weekđđlike bro thatâs not healthy
â@@moose5497 if you ain't bodybuilder to need this much energy I ain't see a reason for the quantities of food taken to go shating that often. That ain't healthy as well
â@@moose5497you can't be talking 3times a day IS NOT healthy 1 time is enough
I hate it
I stopped eating junk food , cut sugar from my diet , started taking 3 balanced meals with ayurvedic approved combinations but my stomach feels so full and bloated and i get hungry at the same time
What would be causing 3 to 5 poops every morning. Can't get it all done in one sitting like when I was in my 20's. Many smaller poops keep me home bound all morning many days of the week. Have you done a segment on this issue. Might be border line IBS but so far not diagnosed for that. How can I retrain for one or two larger loads in fewer sittings?
I have the same issue. If you find the answer then please share it here.
Ditto. I feel fine but go so many times.
I donât eat much either.
I keep pooping. This is my second time pooping and every time Iâm done I go back to know that I have to go poop again this time.
i am doing it for 1 time daily, 7 time a week. đđđĽş
This video got my going and flowing
Im on 15 hrs fasting, No sugar, Card diet too. But i only poop like 2 times a week, however, I dn feel any stress in my stomach,it feels Okay, Is that Normal?
Iâd love to know the answer- im doing everything you described also!
I searched this while pooping.
đ
I wish I can get back to 3 times a week. I have been increasing my water intake.
I changed my diet and now Iâm going up to 4 times a day. Itâs not a lot every time but Iâm going. Last night was the first time in a long time that I didnât get bloated when I ate so I think my increase in fiber is really helping me!
So u got weight ?
@@devil13655 Iâm 58 yrs old. I have about 5 pounds of fat that I donât need. Iâm 115 at 5â0â. I should be 110lbs. Iâm very physically active, but I still had a problem getting constipated because I wasnât getting enough fiber. Oats have changed my bodies function in more than one way.
Oats calm down my stomach, I sleep so good & I đŠ everyday. I also eat veggies & fruits. It wasnât until I ate oats that my stomach calmed down and I was able to have regular bowel movements.
Love you brother
In the morning I have to use the restroom 5-7 times before school if I donât my stomach starts to growl in school I wake up at 4-5 am because of this Iâve went to the doctors but they say itâs nothing
That donât seem right, seek a different doctor.
You see another doctor?
@@kevinmcquitery4543 Iâve been to two different doctors and theyâve only done an ultra sound and a test where I had to drink something and blow into a bag/balloon thing
@@idkblank_blank3983 It's breathalyzer test, it's mainly to detect whether you have abnormal gut's microbiome or else. Anyway, what's the result? have you find the culprit. Let us know!
@@Minerva578 they said they only found a bit of bacteria but she said itâs so little it shouldnât be causing me these symptoms so idk đ¤ˇââď¸
1 to twice a day for me. Prebiotics help a lot.
Me, 2-3 times a day regularly
Ask Amber heard!
Not funny đ.

đđđđđđfunny
yes this was funny đ
I am able to write down here more than 70 (!) videos of CZcams recommending to take daily 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach, this especially of India and the surrounding countries, this not only to cleanse the bowels but the liver too and so to strengthen the immune system.
You can eat expired milk it will clean the gut as well. But just because it flushes everything doesn't mean that is healthy to be taken
If you want better liver and gut learn and try fasting
@@Master.Baiting_to_youI suppose thatthe bio-physiological processes of castor oil in the human body, taken internally, are unknown for you.
@@enemanozzle well i am sure you haven't heard about goldenseal root which is better than any oil, but hey at least the placebo might work for you just fine
@@Master.Baiting_to_youBut with the goldenseal root you will not be able to cleanse your body from all the toxins deposed there via the liver. This one will exclusively be possible by taking castor oil internally.

this doesn't seem accurate at all, going often is a product of overeating, nothing more. most people are brainwashed into the propagranda of eating many meals a day, as per their upbringings, if you only eat what you need ( as i do ) i find 2-3 movements a month is fine, and without any complications. in conclusion, going more often seems to be a product of over eating.
I go two times in a day even if have nothing to eat is that a problem
I do too..
What conception mean u can't poop đŠ in Jamaica not poop every minute
Iâve been pooping around once a week which is severe constipaption which Iâm a little scared
I have tips - first take laxatives : if itâs very severe then take about 17 - 31 but if youre younger (0-12) then take 17-25 . depending on your family doctor im not exact but hope it helps . 2nd (tip); use colern glycogen that you put in
the bottom . itâs basically like oil but hard . in about 15 - 30 min it melts and you will feel like you have to go to the bathroom. you can get this stuff at your local pharmacy!
I myself 2 to 3 times per day no issues
What is d best suđ plememt for constiiation?
I go a lot less than that but itâs rather soft always. Sometimes itâs been 1-2 months. I hate it so much. Iâm so miserable.
I have a lot of problems with constipation . Iâm on a stool softener and it does help . I need to know what to eat and how much I need to and could not going be deadly ? Thank you
Fruits more water and fibres from India đŽđłâ¤â¤jai shree ram
once a day đ˘ two a day recently but i have anxiety if i dont a while
every stomach ache scares me and the poo is almost always small
I understand where you coming from. I get that too until I hold it too long than I just give in meaning Iâm just desperate to let it go in a quiet place
Iâm not a doctor but have you tried coffee with creamer ?
What does it mean if your poop is white and clay looking?

I try to poop 2 times a week but still I feel like not all of it comes out
What...?? Are u kidding.....u should poop everyday atleast oncs
Yea u definitely arenât getting everything out if your only pooping twice a week thatâs unhealthy u should be pooping everyday once at least so 7 times a week
@@moose5497try 18 times a week
I poop once or twice but thereâs a huge problem with me, I poop for 4 to 5 hours idk what wrong with me but thatâs how Iâve been like for a few years and nothing is helping, why does my poop come out so slow paced
I would recommend seeing a GI Doctor for this problem.
Water with đ only.
Maaaan 3 times per week??? I poop twice a day like clockwork.. I gotta poop now..

Drink a lot of water ( I finish 15 liters per week)

The longest without bowel movement should be no longer than 3 days anything past that might be a problem within your gut

i poop once a week
Really how old are u and how long has that happened ?
â@@avfc2025 me too I poop once a week
Yet I exercise everyday to keep my abs intact
And eat twice a day to keep myself fit
I drink 2L of water per day
That's 12 Liters per week
i poop once a week, but had no problems. brown stool as always.. is this bad/serious? or i just need more water...
You don't feel bloated ,bad energy in those 6 days ? And when you go do you excrete properly
Yes you need more water but not into your mouth. Water is inserted into your rectum to stimulate bowel movement like enema.
Check out how hot straight guys poop and perform water enema on boyscat.
Itâs bad as you should be pooping after every meal
Thatâs definitely not good!!
I go twice a day
I poo once a week and pee everyday
Everything is alright with tummy?
I poop almost every day and if I skip a day or two once I go to poop its painful why
Increase your fiber and water intake. Make sure your water intake includes fiber, like fruit and vegetables which also aid in hydration.
Water is absorbed in the colon. The longer your digested food stays in the colon the drier it becomes. This holds true as the "head" of stool that comes out first is usually darker in color.
Perform water enema by using shower hose. Your hard stool will be flushed out together with water like smooth squirt.
Thanks because sometimes I poop 3 x a week lol
Something Iâm really struggling with is what is too frequent of a bowel movement??????
Haha you're funny
â@@jacksonmckinney9073no but seriously what is it? I'm not native speaker
