Dr. Oz was asked by Andrea about chronic constipation. She wanted to know how long should it take a meal to digest and how many times a day should a person poop? Dr. Oz’s shocking answer is revealed on the next page!
Dr. Oz says that the average person takes about 20 hours to push out what you eat. To figure out how long it takes for you, you need to eat something brightly colored (like beets) so that you will be able to track when it comes out. If you are not getting enough water or fiber, it can take you 100 hours to digest your food, which is bad for you because the food is essentially rotting in your belly during that time. You should see a doctor if you poop more than four times a day or if you don’t go to the bathroom at least every other day. However, if you do not have any stomach pain, then you probably do not have to worry. Here are some of Dr. Oz’s suggestions for how to cure constipation:
To help cure constipation eat things like fiber, probiotics (yogurt, kefir) and drink lots of water. You should also read Dr Oz’s segment on Constipation Causes, because there are other things that can constipate you, even if you drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber. For example, calcium can make you constipated if you take too much of it by itself. Also, overuse of laxatives can cause constipation. Good thing that Dr Oz answers all of our questions about bowel movement issues!
Eric says
I poop 2-3 times a day, And I know I have a perfect diet, enough fiber and enough water really helps clear out your system, which I believe can help you loose belly fat
Gillian says
Depends, sometimes I’ll go 3 days without pooping. I have timid poop, took me 2 months to feel comfortable to poop at my boyfriends house so I’d go all weekend without doing it.
However, the last week. I’ve been going 3-7 times a day!
They aren’t small movements either…
Joanna says
I have been pooping 12 times a day. There is blood mixed in with the poo. Sometimes there is green mucus. One time it was even WHITE! Am I a ghost? I need help. This chronic dhiaria is killing me. i eat lots of meat.
MasterProp says
Joanna, I’m a little late to this, but that blood is probably hemorrhoids from excessive bowel movements. You should see a doctor about that. More meat is NOT what you should be eating to help with your bowels; less meat is generally better. You should try to eat more fiber. Fiber, while it does help with constipation, will also help keep you from pooping quite so much, as well. What it does it “keep you regular”, ie, help you have normal, consistent movements. So, get some psyllium into your diet.
12 times a day is NOT normal, even for someone who poops a lot. I generally have 3-4 bowel movements a day, which is pretty good, but NOT 12. If this is recent, it may just be an illness working it’s way through your body. If it’s something that’s been going on for a while, go see a doctor. It could be something more serious.
Matt says
I poop three to five times a dag. There not big poop just small sometimes is that bad????
Mark says
Joanna, do you have sudden urges to go, or have to get up at night to go? You should see your doctor or a gastroenterologist. I’m not a doctor, but IMO you have symptoms of inflamed bowels / colon which suggests chrohns disease or colitis.
John says
When i had a very unhealthy lifestyle (smoking drinking) I used to poop almost after every meal. Now i dont smoke, drink and i’m a fitness nut (exercise 5 days a week), i consume mostly protein and this just makes me pass gas instead of pooping. I almost have to force myself to poop once a day. The usual is about once every 2-3 days. What is wrong?
P.S Every morning i eat oatmeal with bananas, milk & Honey (Almost constant)
Elly says
I have very small bowel movements a couple times a week. My poo is only the size of small grapes and I have so much gas. I have no feeling that I need to go but when I do it is all of a sudden and then its like one big ball of grapes I can’t pass.
admin says
Elly, have you tried increasing your fiber to help your bowel movements become more regular?
admin says
Ben, we are not affiliated with Dr Oz, we are just Dr Oz’s biggest fan site. So unfortunately, since I am not a doctor, I really cannot tell you if your bowel movements are normal or healthy. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Could it be that you are eating way too much fiber? Just throwing it out there…
Liz says
I eat a fibre diet (i.e. oatmeal for breakie and avg 3-5 veggies and fruit per day), drink avg 8 glasses of water per day or more, and exercise. I have small bowel movement a couple times a week that is small and hard to release.
kath says
hi i am on iron tablets and I go to poop once a day first thing in the moring when i wake up becuase i am tryign to loose weight and eat fibre and now iron .

Caity says
Hi, i usually poop about every 2 days…and i don’t have a good diet either…what should i eat to make my metabolism faster? and im 13 if it matters.
Liz Reed says
I was watching your show last week and took notes but I was not really fast enough to get it all down. It was regards true or false I hope you can remember when that was. You had some great tips and I would like this revealed to me by my email above. A product versus another. I learned a lot and I do want to review your show again. I am very health conscious I am a grandmother and nobody believes that I am I am having another birthday this Nov 12 th The doctors tell me my blood work is great. I never eat out and I monitor everything that I eat and eat healthy snacks as well and make my own smoothies and cook all of my meals.No preservatives as I am unable to tollerate them being born in Australia. I repefer the healthy diets and foods with less salt and sugars etc in them. Great show hopefully one day I can appear on your show. Lis Reed Arlington Texas Thanks Dr Oz
admin says
Caity, since I am not a doctor, I cannot advise you medically. However, if you do not have a good diet, I would try improving your diet because that can help improve so many aspects of your health. Eating fiber-rich foods may also help!
admin says
Hi Liz! We are not affiliated with Dr Oz, we are just Dr Oz’s biggest fan website, so I’m afraid I cannot get answers for you from Dr Oz. I am not totally sure which segment you are trying to find more information about, but could it be this one: http://www.wellbuzz.com/dr-ozs-advice/dr-oz-constipation-causes-laxatives-cause-constipation-over-time/?

Eddie says

Help Me says
Lately my poo movements have been very strange, they are very infrequent, smell strange, look strange and taste even worse, although when I mix it with the usual peanut butter blend(to save money on peanut butter) you usually can’t tell the difference, anyways any advice on how to fix my poos?
Megan says
I moved to a new area temporarily and have been eating more fiber and fruit. I usually have powder but realized plus that I have been eating fiber cereal and fiber granola bars, etc.. Since that time I have been going poop almost every time I go to the bathroom to go pee. I cut back some fiber. It doesnt hurt and its not diahhrea. Sometimes small ones, sometimes big. But usually now 4-5 times a day where once I went every other or every third day. Does this sound normal? Any thoughts would be helpful. thx
ashleigh says
Lately I’ve been pooping 4 to 6 times or more a day & have had problems in the past with tummy pains. They think it could be my gull bladder. Is this why? & NO its usually not solid. More like diarhea. My bowel movements are hardly ever normal. Usually ill poop a lot or ill be constipated really bad :/
ashley says
hey i see all these posts are from last year so hopefully someone can answer my question hopefully a doctor or w.e..
this is embaressing…..but i cant poop =/ i eat normal not alot of meat but enough and all the good stuff i cant seem to poop i always have urges to go but nothing comes out i guess im constipated but all the time.?? idk i dont poop everyday and if i do i gotta push real hard for little nuggets..hahah sorry to much info..i havent gone to the dr yet figured id look it up first.
i use to take lots of laxatives or things that make you poop. back when i was trying to loose weight obviousally not knowing it would effect me in the future..so im wondering if maybe thats a reason why my bowels are no longer healthy..curious is thats fixable or will i have to take laxs to poop the rest of my life >_<
teramaje says
Mostly I poop 15 times a day and I have also so many puffs and too much bowl movement. I have weight gain day by day with ordinary eating habit. I go to hospital so many times for examination and the result is no parasite but I feel so many bowl movement at the time of eating and always scratching my annus to feel good. so, what is going on in my health? can you help me on this matter?

R. Kelly says
I poop every night, on my girlfriend. It turns her on. Should I see a doctor?
Kelly says
OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone, I mean EVERYONE!!!!! should be “going” AT LEAST once a day. Firm, brown, “log-gish” type of easy feeling. Don’t mean to sound gross, but it ‘s true. Firm, not hurting means you’ve had enough absorbtion from your diet. Brown means all the “colors” from all your foods coming together – this is GOOD! White means to many condensed foods. Period. Long and stringy, MIGHT be blockage…only over time….2 times a day is a bit better= Morning wake and before/close after dinner. Huge fan of the “pooping”. Keep it clean, keep your body healthy and imagine what pooping can actually do for you if it’s normal. Wahooo! just saying……
Em says
Guys: let me tell you all what will help you become “regular.”
Sip 2 TABLESPOONS of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (Bragg’s brand with the “mother”) MIXED WITH WATER throughout the day. I have been doing that, and besides it clearing up my breakouts, I have been going poop once daily now. I usually used to once every 4 days and I used to have chronic stomach aches doctors couldn’t figure out. Now the aches are gone and not to mention my skin is glowy, less breakouts, and I’ve been less sleepy. Look it up,
ACV is great for other problems too.
GPS Tracking System says
Weight gain and regularity became a concern for me once I took an office job working for a distributor of vehicle tracking devices. The best advice I can suggest is to cut soda from the daily diet, only having as a treat every once in awhile, and replacing that with water. Also, making certain Monday-Friday to eat a high fiber cereal for breakfast. By making those two changes you should see significant improvement in weight and regularity.
Joe says
Em’s comment on apple cider vinegar would definitely help. The stuff can help with a lot of things. Rub it on your skin after a shower. I usually have incredibly greasy hair and I’d get it overnight after a shower. Now it never gets greasy, not even after several days.
To ingest it you definitely need a strong stomach. I recommend drinking with very hot water. If you drink it cold I guarantee you’ll gag and if you’re lucky you won’t throw up.
Now, the guy above me has a good point. You should make an effort to eat healthier. But why only on certain days? You should avoid man-made food like the plague. Water is also your best friend for those that don’t have bowel movements often. Always drink 6-8 glasses a day. Get to the market and buy vegetables and fruit, fresh only. You should have 2-5 of them each at every meal.
You should only be having a bowel movement every other day and never have stomach pain. I don’t know about those of you that are having multiple a day, but I suggest you drop the junk food and start investing more healthy foods in your diet. It’ll pay off.
And don’t forget your exercises! At least 30 minutes a day, but I’d recommend 2-4 hours a day. 2 hours of strength training and 2 hours cardio. Enjoy life.
Tracie says
I go 1 to 2 times a day usually, and sometimes 3 times a day. I drink a lot of water and tea, which I definitely notice if I’m feeling backed up the black tea (I drink it hot, with a little milk, and a little honey) helps me go sometimes. I typically eat different things for breakfast each day (but always eat breakfast) like healthy cereal with Lactaid milk (I am lactose intolerant), hot cereal like Bob’s steelcut oats multigrain hot cereal, or fruit like a banana with plain yogurt with cinnamon, or turkey bacon, an egg, and whole wheat toast with a little jam (if I have an egg with anything, I usually chop up mushrooms and green peppers into it and add lots of spices and herbs), or an egg and cheese sandwich, or a healthy natural peanut butter with banana sandwich on whole wheat bread. If I can’t eat something hearty because I’m running late or not hungry enough but have to eat, I’ll at least grab the yogurt or banana and eat one of them or both if I have time. For lunch, I usually pack for work leftovers from dinner, or healthy foods like two to three different fruits, a small bag of carrots or cucumber slices, a healthy sandwich, or a salad I made at home, and a big bowl of frozen mixed veggies cooked in our work microwave, plus multi grain healthy snack crackers for between meal hunger, or unsalted peanuts to snack on between meals. that’s a typical lunch if we haven’t cooked the night before. But for dinner we eat healthy, too, typically, and sometimes have meat, sometimes not. Vegetables and fruit are usually half of my lunch and vegetables are half of my dinner each day, though. I don’t have a salt tooth, but I definitely have a sweet tooth on occasion. I’m a 30 year old woman, and my monthly cycle is a difficult time with the sweet tooth, so that is when my normal diet kinda goes out the window. If I feel queasy from cramps, I can’t eat sometimes, or if I do eat, I eat a whole lot more than usual at other times when I don’t feel queasy or in pain from cramps. I have bad cramps. Anyway, I try to consume things with extra calcium and vitamin D since I’m lactose intolerant, like Lactaid milk, yogurt, and a variety of types of foods day to day. I do not eat out at fast food places; they have made my system irregular in the past or made me feel sick, and I don’t eat fried stuff because it gives me heartburn and an acid reflux feeling. I think the lactose intolerance has made me more careful with digestive issues anyway. I take a pill for the intolerance, too. I feel my best going poop twice a day, and if I can only go once I can feel regular but in the morning the next day I have to go immediately pretty much upon waking up if I haven’t had the second poop of the day the day before. I don’t have a perfect diet (am human), but I try to do well.
Megan says
I haven’t pooped in 5 days what do I do
Chris says
I go several times per day, sitting here on my 5th one as I type this on the laptop not joking either. You should be going once per day minimum and if you are not then you need to eat a healthier diet with more dairy, (probiotics) drink more water, and eat more fiber.
I find that after drinking some fresh brewed whole leaf black tea from teavana I will immediately have to go afterwards but remember don’t sweeten your tea with white sugar use raw honey or agave syrup. Then I eat breakfast or lunch and usually have to go again shortly afterwards.
Some things that can cause constipation are not drinking enough water for one, not eating enough times a day and also if you take some medications like opiates / pain pills for example this can really clog you up. I had an ex girlfriend who would only go every few days and always had constipation from taking pain pills and it was a constant battle for her she endured alot of suffering and pain as a result. I tried my best to help unplug her but that just made a big mess, not even funny. Needless to say it is not a healthy way to live and exactly why she is now my ex. So Em if you are reading this, I don’t need your (infrequent) sh#t anymore! lol
This is a serious comment by the way, live healthy and take care of your body you only have one life. God bless! 🙂
Shannon Macri says
If you’re consuming 25 grams of fiber per day then you should be pooping 2 times a day. 1 movement isn’t enough. If you can’t go each day that means not enough fiber,not enough water and you’re most likely consuming foods that bind you up. Too much meat of any kind does bind you up alot. Stay away from fast foods,colas and hard cheeses if you’re constipated. Rice and potatoes can really make a hard bm painful.
khordkutta says
Dont drink Tejava on an empty stomach, may make you earl.
Manda says
My poop is a dark green and I go 2-3 times a day. Is that good or bad?
Jivits says
Lately, I’ve been pooping 4-6 times a day. It’s usually a shade of orange and it feels painfully hot on my anus on it’s way out. Sometimes I think I need to go but only farts come out. I still end up going to the bathroom a lot because I want to avoid an accident, especially at work. When it comes out easily, it’s usually 2 or 3 orange logs. When its a bit more difficult, just a couple of floater bits fly out accompanied with really bad smelling farts. I would like to be a little more normal and get more work done and have less failed attempts. Why should I do?
Sharlena says
Its very hard for me to poop.. sometimes it takes me like 1 week or 2 to poop.I have stomache sometimes also.ANd i dont know what im doing wrong to have me constipated so much.And this been happening for a while. Now my son who is 10months is going through the same thing. I dont know what may be causing this. What should I do ?
Lisa says

astha says
i need to go for long toilet about 5 times a day. i dont even remember since when. what should be done to make it only once a day.
Danielle says
I have been told here in the last few weeks that I have bladder infection and since then(even before then) I have had to go to the bathroom maybe 10 times, but I only have to pee. While Im sitting down to pee,I also have to poop and this happens every time I go. Also when I am wiping my butthole hurts to wipe, like there is a tear in it or something.
Javier says
I need to go poop right now, but am too lazy to get off the couch and walk across my apartment. Instead I read all these wonderful responses to pooping. Eating chips and drinking coke only for a diet while pooping every hour is good. Continue. Pooping on said girlfriend….. not going to touch that one. Don’t poop but once every 1-2 weeks, try harder. How much poop do you poop when you do poop? I am pooped from writing this.
ann says

Once you get to be 50, this topic becomes super important. Healthy eating, digestion, and elimination are key to feeling good and avoiding problems later on. Keep the poop discussion going Dr. Oz!!

My hubby poos 4 to 5 times a day. Usually and it’s been going on for years now. But now he has started to go less about 2 or 1 a day. I don’t know if that’s a good sign or bad. But sometimes I get worried. Right after he eats he has to go to the restroom. But not sure what’s going one with him. He’s going to be 38 this year, I don’t know if age has anything to do with it as well… but I just want my hubby to be healthy.

Hi Dr OZ, I need your help! I have a 6 year old granddaughter who is absolutely petrify to go poop in the toilet. when she feels the pressure , she crosses her leg so tied so it wont come out
but it does, and she goes in her pants. My daughter is at the end of her rope. She has taken her to her ped, he gives her stool softeners. That wont do nothing for her. What can she do to help her understand that its OK to let it go. Natalee is her name, and she is very petite for her age. She weighs about 30lbs and she about 39 inches tall. She is so tiny, she wears a size 3T still. Please Dr. Oz we need your help. Or more like my granddaughter needs your help. Thank you, Lena

I have been in Thailand for three weeks and only just realized last night I haven’t done a poo in three and a half days. I am not having any stomach problems at all but find it strange as I usually go one to two times a day? I have read a lot of posts and I will try more fibre because I haven’t kept track of my food intake while on holiday so I will try pay more attention to it and eat more fibre and hope it helps. I just wanted to know if this is normal and what I should do if I still haven’t gone within the next 24 hours?

My bowels are always soft but I only go once every 3-4 days. I have even ate corn and tracked it. It takes about 4 days to go through my body. Its so weird. I have tried fiber but that just makes it worse. I ended up getting impacted.
carmy says

Vianay says

I run every night, but I dont eat too much.
I weigh 114 pounds & am 5’1 .
I have been pooping every other day except now its been
Two days that I havent pooped . Is that bad? Whats should Ido!
Fartin Martin says
This sure is a bad topic!!!
Cornelius says
Once I blocked up a toilet from a poo. But seriously go about 6 times a day, i eat mainly quarter pounders, and chicken nuggets. I’m 14, 5’6” and weigh 215 pounds.
Bill Cosby says
I poop little unusual shapes. Usually they are flattened animal shaped nuggets. I.e. bears, elephants, giraffes, etc. Lol. Sorry if its too much info. Hahaha. But, its not just animal shapes, sometimes it’s everyday objects like hammers, forks, knives and etc. I have even popped out little celebrity faces I.e. Connie Chung, Captain Kangaroo, Willie Nelson, and the Virgin Mary. What should I do?! I don’t even like Willie Nelson!!! Why can’t it be like…Kim Kardashian?!
Jacob says
I love to poop on my girlfriends chest is this normal I do it like 3 times a day.
lmh25 says
I poop 1-3 times a day and i’m glad i’m a daily pooper. my poos are usually soft, not too thick and easy to pass out. A little pushing is still required, even with soft poos, but i am pretty empty afterwards. A very long time ago (20 years) there was a period i pooped 2-3 times per week. In that period, i had a lot of discomfort after pushing out a 3-days old rock hard log. Not fine!!! on the other hand, when i should push out such logs nowadays, it would be much easier for me, because my poo hole can handle big logs much easier than 20 years ago and i am able to better relax my anus. I assume this is normal….(if not, please let me know)!
Tre says
Girls don’t poop. It’s proven.
Ian says
I have been pooping ten times a day. My feaces comes out violently as if it had enough power behind it to launch me into space. My girlfriend is worried as she enjoys when i poop on her chest but my poop is coming out with such velocity that it broke two of her ribs. Help me please
RJC says
The key to normal, healthy bowel movements is:
1) 2 of 3 meals a day
2) Lots of fruits and vegetables
3) No meat
4) Lots of water
5) Exercise
6) proper rest
That’s it. If you have a sedentary lifestyle you can supplement with psyllium husks, and get the husks, unsweetened, so you can avoid all the garbage they put in fiber supplements.
To much says
Colitis will make you go a lot at diferrent times. IBD is curable. Can be stress related!!
Sarah says
I havent pooped for 5 days . what should I do?
barbara barreto says
I poop every time I eat im so scared they have run every testing I mean everything they dont know whats wrong with me
Michelle says
Hi I have had 3 colonoscopys and they can not figure out by I do not poop. I can go days and even weeks without a movement. I usually take 3 phillips laxatives for 3 days before I go. I currently have been trying Miralax. Today is day 4 and still no movement. Is there anything else you recommend? Please help. Michelle
Kamisha says
Michelle, you sound like my mom! She Has IBS and something else that Doctors can’t seem to figure out, they always tell her the same thing! You have IBS! And shes like, Really? I had no idea! NOT! She has had so many test done, and its not uncommon for her to go a week or several weeks with out a movement. She has even gone over a month without going! Its scary! Shes done a cleansing which totally messed her stomach up due to this unknown problem.
I go about 2-3 times a day, she thinks thats too much. Is it?
ladyb says
I was just in Mexico and managed to get what the Doctor there told me was E-coli. It seemed to fit the description…6 days with a high fever about 3 solid days of days of diarrhea and vomiting…2 of the days I passed mostly intestinal blood. He put me on CIPRO for 9 days and I fought to stay hydrated and I got better quickly. Now I am back in the states and I am taking probiotic supplements. I have never felt better. Normally I seen to go every other day, often feeling bloated and gassy, not a big movement usually. Now I go “big” like 2-3 times a day…but I feel great…flat tummy, no gas…stool seems …good, if there is such a thing. I feel like I am going though some sort of “cleanse”. I wonder if the Ecoli infection some how changed me forever and if I should stick with the probiotics.
Alex says
I’ve never met anyone who takes a poop more than once a day.
How can you bare it? my butt would hurt like hell if i took a poop more than 1 or 2 times a day. all that wiping??? after my ritual of wiping my butt is sore as crap and will sometimes bleedif its a soft sticky one because i have to wipe so much.
are those small poops or what? mine are like about a subway size foot long. but ti’s been like that since i was a child. hell, even the few times i’ve had bad almost liquid diarrhea i’ve only pooped maybe twice a day at most.
is that bad? are toxins going to build up and give me cancer before i hit 20 or 30?
Alex says
Sarah. How old are you?
And.. go to a doc if you can. if you can’t drink a lot of prune juice. make sure it’s not the filtered type. the more natural with chunks the better or just eat a ton of prunes for a temporary fix.
Caitlin says
I go 3-5 times a day and I know when I have to go because I get Sharp stabbing pains through my stomach and intestines. I have been to a gi doc and they did a colonoscopy but said everything looks fine. I’ve paid attention to what I eat like I’ve tried cutting out dairy products, or less/more fiber.. I stopped drinking alcohol and drink enough water everyday. I just can’t find a way to make the pain stop. Does anyone else deal with this?
Kathryne says
I’ve been pooping sparkles for the past 3 weeks, but I love eating glitter. I’ve tried to stop but I just can’t. What should I do? HELP PLEASE! i’m desperate. 🙁
Jenna says
I am in my 20’s and I dont really eat too much fiber and I drink about 2 bottles of water a day, which isnt much. I know I need to excerise and drink more water but I dont as of now. I use to not have problems pooping but about 4 years ago i would go like 3 weeks without using the bathroom and I would be so constipated when I finally did feel like going poop it would be very very painful. Well I havent had that problem in 4 years. Well lately I had a episode were i felt like I was going to the bathroom and I was extremely constipated and it was so painful and took me 6 hours for it to come out. Its been about about 3-4 days now and I havent pooped and I am extremely scared to go through that pain again. I dont want to drink prune juice or laxatives because it makes me cramp so bad but i guess if I have to I will. Please any advice would be helpful! Also in these 3 to 4 days I had alot of cheese which I know makes me constipated and it probably why I havent pooped but I feel like I should at least have gone by now!!!
Bryarr Misner says
I can go a week and two days without s
hiting is this normal
Sam says
Hi,for me it is different. someday i poop 2 or 3 times in a day, and sometimes one time a day. is it normal?
In pain!! says
I have not pooped in 8 days i am out of no where in much pain from it and i am scared to take a laxative because i am never home during the day and refuse to go to the bathroom in public…. Would u suggest a day off to clear my bowels? By the way i have been diagnosed with IBS and i have done bowel cleanings before at one point my doctor said i was blocked up as high as my appendix
Stinky says
I poop once a week. It is 4-5 inches in diameter and 8-10 inches long. It’s usually pastel in color. Is this a problem?
Pooooo says
I poop twice a day,and I am 44. I rarely ever eat meat and have very little dairy. I never had problems before,but my lifestyle was reckless for 15 years,heavy drinking,smoking and fast food-stopped everything 2 and a half years ago. Now I bike and do pushups and sit-ups. Thank you Jesus
Beth says
I poop like 4 to 5 times a day. I eat healthy 6x a day and drink lots of liquids and also workout for at least 90 min. Is it normal to poop at least 4 to 5 times a day. But
Beth says
I eat healthy, breakfast + snack, lunch + snack, dinner + snack and drink lots of liquid but mostly water. I also do workout. But lately I’ve been feeling dizzy, headache, and nausea and .I am been eating things I’ve never eat before. Could I possibly be pregnant?
Cathy says
Every time I poop it just squirts every where I can’t stop it
Brian says
My poop has these things that look like fat worms in it. If you poke them with a sharp object, red pus comes out kinda like blood. Is this very normal?
Jmysterio says
Actually Brian, I think you miscarried.
Me says
There are a lot of people here missing the point. Failing to have a bowel movement every single day does not equal constipation. It does not mean you are unhealthy, and it doesn’t make the people that do magically healthy. If your stools are soft, formed, and come out without undue straining there is nothing wrong with you regardless of how often you go.
As for the people with strange stools, going multiple times per day and not being able to go without several days of laxatives, see a doctor.
Last, the people posting things like “DR OZ I HAVENT POOPED IN 2 MONTHS I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IS WORKING PLEASE HELP ME DR OZ” – lmao. It took me 2 seconds of reading to see that this was a fan site, and even if this was the Dr. Oz site LOL X2 for posting this in random comments. Use a little common sense people.
Hungry says
I like to recycle so i poop into my hand then eat it. NOM NOM NOM
Jethro says
Lately, I have had the strangest occurrences where I look at my poop and it starts talking to me. We have had many of good conversation yet I feel this is strange. My doctor gave me a poop dictionary so I could communicate with my poop. We are not seeing each other right now because of irreconcilable differences. Any advice?
Eliza Jo says
I poop 27 times a day.. my diet consitsts of crap.. not that kind of crap.. ya know like junk food. my sensi says to poop in the yard of my dog. when ever I see my dog pooping I feel the urge to poop with him. his name is captain poops-a-lot. everyday I the morning I walk my dog around the block.. I live in a shack.. and sometimes we poop in people’s yards. after our walk we go home and we sit at the table and eat. our chairs look a lot like tolite seats.. maybe that’s why I have the urge to poop so much? I really afraid of tolite seats so that’s why I poop with my dog. my dog and I have our best conversations while we are pooping. it’s a really good bonding activity you should try at home. I ha to go now. my dog it’s calling me we are about to have a great poop. but before i go.. am I normal?
Maria says
I haven’t popped in a few days and when I do it’s little ones. And now I’m feeling bloated and my left side of my abdomen is tender to the touch. I’m thinking about going to the Er in morning..
Sarah Anderson says
Okay, I went to the bathroom between 7-9 times on the 17th and then I didn’t go until the 23rd 2 times, and I went 1 time on the 25th. Is it normal to get lower back pain, I’m very tempted to drink a 5.5oz can of prune juice so it cleans me out because I feel nauseated. I ate too much dairy this past week. I’m lactose intolerant, i have gastritis, and my doctor told me i have IBS. When I get gutache issues I can be in the bathroom up to 30 minutes at a time. I get horrible cramping pain from it too. 🙁 I want a new digestive system.
Sara says
If you dring a lot of water; it helps.
Maria Zanpoplocachazalas says
so I’ve been pooping everyday for 3 weeks now but the strange thing about when I poop is that I poop every hour on the hour…… you can say that’s strange right? my friends like to come poop with me sometimes and it’s kinda fun to have a pooping partner like Eliza Jo said. She poops with her dog… sounds delightful. I might even try it. well first I would have to get a dog. or maybe I can borrow Eliza Jo’s?! Well I have to get ready for my poop that will happen in a little while.. goodbye
B.A. says
The poop posting of September 6 by Bill Cosby is the funniest post here. All those different shapes had me laughing so hard I almost pooped my pants! Honorable mention goes to Ian’s post of September 18, 2012, whose powerful poops have launched him into space! Keep up the funny posts, very entertaining !!

Every month once i see my period i feel very down and frustrated any time is comes until one day i was browsing through Google on how to get pregnant and i saw so many testimonies pf different persons and different problems testifying how they got there problem solved by ASHRA the spell caster , i then copied the email address of ASHRA and i contacted ashra and narrated everything i am passing through ,
ASHRA Reply me immediately me with words of comfort and immediately i had peace inside of me and ashra perform the cleanse spell and told me the reason why i havent been able to get pregnant and have my baby its because there is a work of witch craft that is causing me not to have my baby thats the reason the doctors could not find any medical report , he then cast the spell and remove the dark spell that the witch craft has put on me immediately ashra cast the purification spell i feet light and it was like a huge burden has left my body, 6weeks time i did a pregnancy test and i was pregnant this my second pregnancy two years later now my baby is healthy and a happy baby and caring another pregnancy now and it such a thing of joy , my advice to other women who are finding it difficult to get pregnant or they always have miscarriage is that it might be a witch craft dark spell ,contact ashra today and that might be your break through , you can contact ashra on email address :[email protected] or call +2348058176311

Hi, I have been having issues with gas. It seems as though I have been passing gas nonstop. I have become the master of the silent gas. Even in school. I have a pretty regular diet and try to get exercise daily, i poop once a day typically. I would love to know if it is a simple diet change or if I need to see my physician. I really appreciate the help!
Dana says
I NEVER have bowel movements (it feels like). In reality it’s about every three weeks but once I go I feel like it’s not enough excrament for what I’ve eaten. The reason it goes so long is because it doesn’t give me pain. I know it’s not normal but I don’t know what to do about it and Metamucil just tastes awful. Help.

Tim says
I have had problems for a year now. I’m 14, and since last summer I have had major pains in my waist / abdomen. I was told I was allergic to milk, which I still may be, but now I defecate only about once every 5-7 days. I try eating 2 bowls of cereal most days, but it still takes a week to reach my next bowel movement. I try pushing it out 4 days after my last to avoid the massive pain I experience, but it doesn’t work. I can’t force it before the pain, so if you guys could help, that’d be great. Thank you!
Lisa says
I just pooped out a foot and a half long brown turd. I ate oatmeal, salmon and corn and almonds and c boost drink and a couple chocolate chip cookies yesterday. I feel great!

Lilian says
So this is what has been going on for the past 3 years with me 17 trips to the hospital all I got out of this was H-pylori. I go to the bathroom 15-20 times a day. I would be in so much pain I would pretty much beg for death. I’m 5’4 and weigh 190 lbs I eat probably 2 times a day (most of the time) any other time once a day and I drink water all the time. The doctors would walk into the hospital room ask me if I smoked “Yes”…..”Its your cigarettes.” and walked right out. I have had over 20 different tests done and one day is IBS, Crohns, Acid Reflux (although I’ve never had that in my life) Celia disease lactose intolerant and many more. Thing is I don’t lose weight from all of this if anything I have gained 60 lbs since this has started and the doctors can’t tell me whats wrong. When going to the bathroom I’ll get really dizzy, sweaty and start throwing up then get the chills and have almost unbearable pain with lots of blood. Yet according to the doctors its cigarettes (mind you I probably only smoke 5 a day) if that even counts. If there is ANYONE who reads this and has had anything similar to this I would love to know. I’m 23 this doesn’t happen to people my age as far as I know. Alot of times I mainly get sick late at night or really early in the morning, the pain is bad enough to wake me up…(VERY DEEP SLEEPER) also my gallbladder is 1 point away from not working…I could write about on here about everything…but yeah.
Lacey says
I need help! I poop more than 4 times a day sometimes right after I eat I have to go and its yellow. I had my gallbladder taken out 4 years ago. Is there something I can take over the counter to help this. I just want to be able to eat and not uae the babthroom all day and night.
Kacman the Destroyer of Toilets! says
My poop always burns. It’s like I have a dragon living inside me and the only thing he can let out of me…. is his breathe. This causes severe irritation and discomfort through out the day. How do you slay a dragon that is housed in your intestines???
NatKingCole says
I am I’m serious need of help. I’m 30 year old female and within the last year I have gained around 30 pounds. I only go poop like once every 5-8 days and I’m constantly bloated and am becoming really self conscious. Starting tomorrow I am going on a month long no meat diet and no fried foods either… hopefully this will help me! Any other suggestions will help.
jamie G says
I don’t poop very often at all.
ak says
LOL, I haven’t laughed this hard in a looooooooong time! I know alot of these answers are just people trolling, but some of them are still hilarious either way.
But anyway, I can remember in high school, my friends & I used to debate about this subject all the time. A few of my friends insisted that they went once every few days, & figured that was normal, while one of my friends & I were shocked at this, because we went ever day-in fact, we had a slogan we made up & it went like ‘Once a day is nature’s way!!’. Even though I think you’re supposed to go twice a day. But either way, I can’t imagine not going every day.
kira roberson says
Is it normal for someone that does not have a gallbladder to poop 4 times or norw a day?
Rayna says
I’m 17 years old, and have been hospitalized once for being constipated, but they gave me an anemia then I eventually did, then they had me take a laxative that night, and then I was fine. But now I poop about three times a day, now. The stool is very soft though. Sometimes its twice a day, and the second time, there’s two. Is it too much? Plus, I get gassy a bit. Help?
Denisha says
I take metformin for pcos and so pooping is my savor. I go about three-four times depending on what I am eating. I am actually going right now at 2am. I don’t always feel sick, but it cleans me out. If I don’t poop I feel full and uncomfortable. So I think it all depends on the person. I do get dehydrated a lot. So I have to drink water like I am a fish.
Caitlin says
Hi,
I’ve taken to pooping in the morning and for th past few days Ive only gone in th morning and not during the day…
Is this weird?
I do usually strain whilst pooping and I have a small haemorrhoid. I am only 14… I used to not drink much and not have enough fibre, but I’m trying to change that. I’ve been to the doctors about the haemorrhoid. I have ointment but it’s not really working because I’m still straining. Help

Jess says
Hi, my 3 year old poops between 5-8 times a day, she screams when she goes and it’s very little or nothing is staining, she is potty training well abd wears pants during the day unless out. We changed her bread to gluten free, cut down on biscuits yoghurt and cheese milk Eric. But to no avail. She has been this way for around 2 months. She had colic for the first 5 months in life too. By the way she doesn’t eat much meat. But likes greens and grapes bananas and raisins. But is a fussy eater. She only drinks water also which is good. Any advice as it’s rather dampening our day to day life.
Clayton Thompson aka Ourlifeisadream says
I go anywhere between 2/5 times a day. I’m a student of dietetics. Recently diagnosed with borderline personality which led me to alter everything that enters my body. Needless to say I am as organic as sources allow even if it cripples me financially. It’s been my goal to get as close to 15 servings of fruits and veggies daily for a while now. Best decision I ever made. I nearly cut meat out of my diet entirely. I consume seeds of chia and hemp variety I consume quinoa of the black variety I take 1/3 tbs of coconut oil daily, I get plenty of water with how I make my veggies and fruits, I take magnesium and a plethora of other adaptogens daily which includes turmeric and ashwaganda. I’ve lost close to thirty pounds. Healthy loss not all at once. I should exercise but i just don’t feel the need to do so. I haven’t been or even close to being sick. My diet is geared to my body as I’ve toggled with it for some time to determine what’s perfect for me. Even though I smoke I’ve never been healthier and I also don’t I repeat don’t have symptoms of my borderline anymore. I did exactly what I would do with my double major of psych and diet on myself as I would anyone if they were my patient. Until I get licensed I can only offer this as advise. However people are turning to me for my two cents as they’ve seen the results of what I’ve been doing and frankly that warms my heart. In the words of Hippocrates…. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
Ellie says
I have had stomach cramps off and on, I pooped small poops on Sunday and then had diarrhea, yesterday i pooped a small one. Haven’t gone since Monday, didn’t eat alot of food on Sunday, ate oatmeal, and bowl of chicken dumpling soup, and supper had yogurt. I took prunlax today at 1 pm. I saw the dr last friday she said the stomach cramps were due to dehydration trying to drink 8 oz of water and juice a day drank 7 yesterday. Let me know what I should do
Indira Kumar says
I am now 18 years old. I am pooping two times a day since my 7th age. I tried many doctors and had medicines for week. My poop would be solid only in that week and after that it comes the same problem. My poop is not solid, always liquidly solid(like butter). Due to this i am avoiding my trips to outside world, and even avoiding socializing. I always pretend to be normal. I am student now and so i can use toilet anytime, but for a job in company? No one wants a man who has fear in socializing and going long distances due to pooping problem. So i am begging you guys, please tell me a solution! I am in serious intension, even also tried thinking about suiciding. Please😭
