Once. If you do anything more than once a day, it’s a sign of weakness. Poop once, eat once, one cup of coffee, one cup of water, only eat dinner (one helping), only allot for one good morning (any additional good mornings are insincere, one kiss allotted to you favorite child or wife (choose discerningly). One action to rule them all.
Yes at least once and I take pride in it I eat fiber one cereal or kashi go every night I’m pretty ocd about it bc if I don’t poop in the morning my day is ruined
My large intestine was removed due to extreme ulcerative colitis using a j-pouch procedure. I poop roughly 6x a day. I typically will go more though, to avoid needing to go when it wouldn’t be convenient.
Usually once a day, but sometimes more. Usually a few times on the weekends.
During weekdays, I poop in the morning, and then I usually don’t after. I’m either too tired or stressed or something to go in the evening. But if I’m well rested on a weekend my butts like “Hell yeah, I’ll do another round!”
Anywhere from 3 to 8 times a day. Usually for 20 to 45 minutes each time. I have IBS-D, though my Gastro just called it that because he doesn't know what's actually wrong with me and my body didn't respond to any treatments.
I recently went through changes in how often I poop and I asked my doctor about it. It turns out that no-one really knows why people poop as often or as seldom as they do, but it's normal for people to poop as much as 1-3 times a day to as little as 1-3 times a week. Bottom line from her: Don't worry about it unless you're shitting blood, or your stools are black and you're not taking iron supplements.
Once a day. Usually right after I wake up. I used to poop randomly multiple times a day most of my life, started drinking kombucha and it made me regular like clockwork... No more random poopies
I have gastroparesis (got it from long covid) so no. More like once every two to three days and it’s the size of my forearm, then nothing for another 2-3 days. I also barely eat solid food (it’s painful to eat even a sandwich sized foodstuff) so my diet is primarily liquid.
Regular diet at home, 9AM ish once every day. Traveling my system hibernates? Familiar destinations, two or three days can be missed. Strange locations, five days is not unusual. I wonder sometimes if this isn't some hunter-gatherer gene legacy characteristic?
My regular diet is a well balanced diet of low processed foods cooked at home.
This worries me whenever I go on holiday, for some reason when I go abroad I won’t shit for many days on end. I don’t know what it is about being abroad but something changes. Where does all that food go and why isn’t it coming out!!?? It’s crazy. Otherwise yeah about once a day, if not every 2 days.
😅 I've heard the "you have to poop every day or you're unhealthy" for the last 35 years. Poop when you have to; if you can't and you know that you've eaten, you might have an issue.
Yes, after morning coffee unless I’m traveling. My body likes to go at home, so it will wait two days if I’m not home. It literally comes on as I’m turning the car into my neighborhood.
I poop when I need to. Sometimes it’s daily. Sometimes it’s every other day. Sometimes I go a couple days without pooping. Hasn’t caused me any issues yet besides occasionally clogging the toilet, which is usually pretty easily fixed.
The answer is, whatever is normal for you. If you are not straining or uncomfortable/painful then there is little worry. If there has been a change in your habits it may be reason for concern. As you age it might be beneficial to be sure you are consuming the right kinds of fiber.
No. I’ve had chronic constipation since I was 16 and doctors haven’t taken me seriously when I say I’m worried (I’ve done diet changes, moving around more, hell the only time I was able to go everyday for like a month was when I got food poisoning)
You don't have to poop every single day, and it's surprisingly psychological. I don't poop every day when I'm away from home.
However, at home on your normal schedule, you almost definitely should be pooping at least once a day, and probably more. If you're not, you're probably not getting a healthy amount of fiber in your diet.
DURING morning coffee, after lunch, when I get home after work before my workout, and right before I take a shower. (5'9 167lb, I workout a lot so I require more calories than most so uhhhh)
No, usually every other at most, I don't each much either so that probably has something to do with it. One of the most horrendous things I have to do in life though so I'm happy that at least it's not constant jesus christ.
It depends. When I eat more, I poop every day. When I skip meals, or just eat less, not quite every day. Sometimes I binge and I'll poop more than once/day.
I have an ostomy. I don't have rectal muscles to hold it in until I'm ready to go, instead it goes into my bag. On rare occasions I'll have a lot of output one day then very little to none the next. Most of the time the bowels are moving pretty much all day.
Depends on how well I have been feeding myself. I've had weekends where I eat one meal per day and I might not poop until Tuesday or Wednesday. I try not to make a habit of this though. I do poop most days.
Wow, jumping straight into the deep questions, huh Honestly, not always every single day. Some days it’s like clockwork, other days , I’m just waiting forever like, C’mon, body, do your thing.
2-3 times a day but I've occasionally had 1 a day or even skipped a day, usually when I'm busy or don't have much appetite and end up barely eating anything
Yes, two to three times
Same here.
This is the answer. And at least 2 of those times at work, boss makes a dollar while I make a dime lol
Pre coffee, post coffee, when I get to work (boss makes a dollar I make a dime, therefore I poop on company time), and sometimes after lunch.
Same here. 4 if I eat a lot. Vegetarian.
At 60, hell no. Wish I could.
With you 100%
You might want to give them some space while they are on the throne.
Coffee, drink coffee.
No. I occasionally miss a day.
Yep, once a day typically unless I eat a lot of junk
Once. If you do anything more than once a day, it’s a sign of weakness. Poop once, eat once, one cup of coffee, one cup of water, only eat dinner (one helping), only allot for one good morning (any additional good mornings are insincere, one kiss allotted to you favorite child or wife (choose discerningly). One action to rule them all.
No. And that has worried me when I go on Reddit and see that everyone does it every day and I spend a whole week without doing it calmly
A week is not healthy
You have a bad diet if you’re not going every day
My diet is good. Not the best, but it's good. I just don't really feel like it
Na you got issues
Almost! Always in the morning around 11
I'm a two or three day guy. Regular, but not by others schedule.
No, I can go a week without going
Yes, except on weekends and when traveling. I have no idea why my colon takes breaks on weekends or when I am staying in a hotel.
Why does reddit have such a rampant toilet fascination?
Nope 😩 pregnant and constipated
I don’t do anything every single day
Multiple times. IBS isn't pleasant
Yes at least once and I take pride in it I eat fiber one cereal or kashi go every night I’m pretty ocd about it bc if I don’t poop in the morning my day is ruined
Yeah, I poop on average about 4 times a day. I eat a lot of fiber though.
Multiple times a day
Usually only once a day, sometimes miss it, and then a couple times a month it’s like 5 times in a day. Hormones really mess me up it sucks.
My large intestine was removed due to extreme ulcerative colitis using a j-pouch procedure. I poop roughly 6x a day. I typically will go more though, to avoid needing to go when it wouldn’t be convenient.
Yes. 2-3x per day.
No…I force myself to once a week with Mag07. I’m chronically constipated thanks to my opioids I’m on for pain.
4-5 times
Not really, I probably poop 3-5 times a week. what I lack in quantity I make up for in quality though!
Sure try to.. pooping is very, very important.
Yep, every time someone asks this question.
Usually
Yes every morning
No. Usually 2-3 times a week. IBS-C is a bitch
I'm in a high fiber diet whadda ya think.
Yes- like clockwork. Get up, feed animals, and before I can even get coffee going… bombs away.
once a day like clockwork. After morning coffee.
Usually once a day, but sometimes more. Usually a few times on the weekends.
During weekdays, I poop in the morning, and then I usually don’t after. I’m either too tired or stressed or something to go in the evening. But if I’m well rested on a weekend my butts like “Hell yeah, I’ll do another round!”
It depends
Every morning around 9:30 AM
2-3 times after my coffee in the morning
Anywhere from 3 to 8 times a day. Usually for 20 to 45 minutes each time. I have IBS-D, though my Gastro just called it that because he doesn't know what's actually wrong with me and my body didn't respond to any treatments.
Sometimes every other day, or maybe even poop, nope, nope, poop.
Yeah. Just once in the morning. It’s a pain when I wake up late because I have to finish my poop later and I’m uncomfortable in the meantime
Yes and you should.
No yeah, every morning and sometimes in the afternoon, too.
yes. sometimes twice, usually massive dumps
Usually at least once
Six times a day if I’m anxious
2-3 a week, but I don’t eat much.
Every morning when I get up and I'm 66,like clock work
Every day around 7:30am. Again at 9am if I had wings & beer the night before.
10:20 a.m. every day. You can set your watch to it.
This post made me realize how few people are eating vegetables. Fiber is important yall
Once. Like clockwork
I recently went through changes in how often I poop and I asked my doctor about it.

I haven’t pooped in a week I have to take laxative a few laxative to actually make me go most don’t work tho
Yes most the time more
Once a day. Usually right after I wake up. I used to poop randomly multiple times a day most of my life, started drinking kombucha and it made me regular like clockwork... No more random poopies
Full movement after my first cup of coffee everyday. Usually just one very long log and done in two minutes.
I have gastroparesis (got it from long covid) so no. More like once every two to three days and it’s the size of my forearm, then nothing for another 2-3 days. I also barely eat solid food (it’s painful to eat even a sandwich sized foodstuff) so my diet is primarily liquid.

Where does all that food go and why isn’t it coming out!!?? It’s crazy. Otherwise yeah about once a day, if not every 2 days.
Yes I have one Randy Marsh style crap a day.
I understand those that can maybe do it once every 2 days.
But wtf are folks that shit 3 times a day eating? Is it too much food? Or too much fast food? Surely can't be eating a balanced diet.
If you aren’t, you’ve got problems.
Pretty much. Usually more than once.
I'll go normally once or twice.
Pretty much, yeah.
Usually
Yes but not yet for today
Everyday shortly after waking up. One big firm slippery torpedo. Often barely have to wipe. Usually all done in under a minute often much quicker.
Big travel days, missed sleep, Day without eating much at all, dehydration all can affect that but it's rare.
1-3 times a day or every other day. depends on what I eat
Most days, twice.
About 3x per week
No but I take iron pills
I do after I upped my fiber. Life is so much better with more fiber.
yes 1 or 2 everyday
😅 I've heard the "you have to poop every day or you're unhealthy" for the last 35 years. Poop when you have to; if you can't and you know that you've eaten, you might have an issue.
Yes
Depends on if I’m stuck around people for days or not
3-4 times a day on a high protein diet
2-5x a day
At least once a day
I’ve had 4 this morning already… my insides are all wrong due to the rotten Pino Grigio my mate brought round last night.
when i drank coffee it was 2-3 times. Then i stopped and it can be 1-2 times in 2 day. The 💩 quality has improved significantly too.
Every single day at exactly 14:35
No
Usually once every 2 to 3 days, but once in a while ill go twice in a day
Yes two times minimum, sometimes 3 or 4 times
Every single morning like clock work if I’m not sick or on some medicine that causes changes to that
2 to 3 times. Although my wife goes once every 2. I'm sure she's a lion.
Yes
I`m addicted to single ply toilet paper no choice.
No mostly 1 out of 3 days on average?
Yes, after morning coffee unless I’m traveling. My body likes to go at home, so it will wait two days if I’m not home. It literally comes on as I’m turning the car into my neighborhood.
3 times a day
If you dont go a couple times a day you are constipated.
Pretty much yeah. When I don’t for a day I start feeling off and bloated. My body likes a routine apparently.
At least once.
Yes, usually twice in somewhat quick succession in the morning.
When I had my colonoscopy the doctor told me I have a sluggish bowel LOL I go 2x a week
I’m a twice a day myself. Morning then after work
Yes. At least once, typically twice. However, if Chinese food has been involved...
Yes sometimes twice. Eat your fiber kids
I do it once every month 💩
Yes! Although, I haven't this week. My system is out of sync from travel.
Yep, once in the morning and I'm done and on to the day.
I poop when I need to. Sometimes it’s daily. Sometimes it’s every other day. Sometimes I go a couple days without pooping. Hasn’t caused me any issues yet besides occasionally clogging the toilet, which is usually pretty easily fixed.
Nonsense. Nobody poops except me. That’s just gross.
Yes at least once. When I used to do one meal a day sometimes i would miss a day.
Yes multiple times.
Every morning like clockwork. Sometimes afternoons. My day will just feel off if for some reason I don't in the morning.
No
The answer is, whatever is normal for you. If you are not straining or uncomfortable/painful then there is little worry. If there has been a change in your habits it may be reason for concern. As you age it might be beneficial to be sure you are consuming the right kinds of fiber.
Not every day. It seems to depend on whether I eat a full meal that day. If I just eat a little soup that day, no poop. 🤷♀️
No. I sometimes skip a day or two.
No. I’ve had chronic constipation since I was 16 and doctors haven’t taken me seriously when I say I’m worried (I’ve done diet changes, moving around more, hell the only time I was able to go everyday for like a month was when I got food poisoning)
Yes, once daily.
Yes. Sometimes 2 or 3 times. I’m on Metformin and it does a number on your digestive system.
Nope. Is that bad?
Yes...eat more roughage
Yeah, I shit every day at least once, and always on company time 😉
More or less
yes but not always solid poop ://
Yep, usually about 15-30 minutes after my morning coffee.
Yes, until I don’t. Once a day. Then it’s maybe a two day gap. I don’t stay hydrated enough and that’s my issue mostly. (54M here).
PHA! I wish!
About every 2-3 days
Two heaping TBSPs of Metamucil every day will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Minimum twice sometimes thrice! 🤷🏻♂️
2 times a day in average. If i have a ibs flare up i can go 10 times on one day and 0 times the day after.
It’s a necessity
Hopefully
If you don't then you're not consuming enough fiber in your diet. And that itself is alarming. See your doctor ASAP.
It boggles my mind how many people don’t go every day lol
I be regular, bitches
Yeah, usually 1-2 times.
At least twice
yes usually 1 a day
You don't have to poop every single day, and it's surprisingly psychological. I don't poop every day when I'm away from home.
However, at home on your normal schedule, you almost definitely should be pooping at least once a day, and probably more. If you're not, you're probably not getting a healthy amount of fiber in your diet.
Yes. I have norovirus, so last night and today I pooped enough times for everyone here
four times
DURING morning coffee, after lunch, when I get home after work before my workout, and right before I take a shower. (5'9 167lb, I workout a lot so I require more calories than most so uhhhh)
No, usually every other at most, I don't each much either so that probably has something to do with it. One of the most horrendous things I have to do in life though so I'm happy that at least it's not constant jesus christ.
For the most part.
My diet consists of so much rotted items that i can't avoid pooping every single day.
It depends. When I eat more, I poop every day. When I skip meals, or just eat less, not quite every day. Sometimes I binge and I'll poop more than once/day.
I haven’t pooped in years, now I just shit at least twice a day.
Multiple times. It’s normal for me
My friend Christina doesn’t poop for like 5 days and then will poop ten times on the 5th day
After my morning, coffee
I have an ostomy. I don't have rectal muscles to hold it in until I'm ready to go, instead it goes into my bag. On rare occasions I'll have a lot of output one day then very little to none the next. Most of the time the bowels are moving pretty much all day.
Mostly. If I skip a day….the next day the dump is epic!
Yes
Sip about twice
Usually except the day after I have chemo due to them giving me anti-nausea meds that slow down digestion.
No 💔
Depends on how well I have been feeding myself. I've had weekends where I eat one meal per day and I might not poop until Tuesday or Wednesday. I try not to make a habit of this though. I do poop most days.
Once every 1-2 weeks. I know, I know, but I’ve been like this all of my adult life ( I’m 70). Doesn’t really bother me.
Yup
Usually twice a day
2-4 times a day. Once after coffee, once after chugging water and maybe after lunch. If I had beers the night before I might be going every hour.
Yeah, always at least once. Twice is typical.
About once per hour.
I poop 15-20 minutes after eating a meal. So it depends on how many meals
Hell yes. Usually 3 times a day
No. I poop like twice a week.
Yep like clockwork
No
Never poop on the weekends. Then like 6 times on Monday
At least twice
Yes, sometimes twice.
This is a tricky question for me
At 4:39 am. 🤷🏽♂️
I poop 1-3 times daily unless I didn’t eat much the day before. If I don’t poop that day I normally have a large one the next day.
Wow, jumping straight into the deep questions, huh Honestly, not always every single day. Some days it’s like clockwork, other days , I’m just waiting forever like, C’mon, body, do your thing.
Every other
Yeah 99% of the time. Sometimes even 2x or 3x if I had some wild diet day before. But mostly 1x in the morning and that’s it
4 or 5 times.
I wish
Yes once a day as soon as I get up in the morning. Been that way as long as I remember, elementary schoolish. I’d say 95%+ regularity.
Yes sometimes 2 or 3 depends just depends
Yes
I think twice but soon as I leave and go shopping I have to go again 😡
No way- 2-3x a week.
Yeah
Twice sometimes 3
2-3 times a day but I've occasionally had 1 a day or even skipped a day, usually when I'm busy or don't have much appetite and end up barely eating anything
No.
