Is it normal that i only poo a few times a week?

I poo like 3 times a week at the most. My friend randomly mentioned she goes once a day (long story). Is it weird I go so little?

    Apparently on average pooing ranges from 3-12 a week, these are considered normal, and if it's normal for you and your pattern and not in pain or discomfort than it's normal.

      Prob because you're not comfortable shitting in an unfamiliar place - very common, I used to get horribly constipated whenever I went away from home

    I shit 2 to 3 times a day, everyday. For every meal you have you should be pooping. Keeping in old old poop can
    Be bad

    does it bother you? are you having discomfort? If not Id not worry about it much.
    If the idea of it bothers you eat more fiber and drink prune juice or something.

    I'm lucky if I go 2-3 times in a week. Sometimes it's at least a week in between. No it's not healthy. I should take my own advice but yes more fiber and water like
    Another person said.

    It's normal (average) to have 3 bowel movements in a 7 day period. No worries!

    Everyone's body is different.

    As long as your bowel movements are semi-solid then you should be OK.

    you could be need more fiber and water.. If you do have a healthy balance diet, I think you shouldn't worry about it.. :)

    I take a dump every 3 to 4 days... I think for some its normal.

    I kind of know what you mean , for me I go about 5 days a week. Sometimes i never find the time to go. But in theory you "should" be going more often , Consider trying because in the long run you may damage yourself internally.
