Is it normal to only poop less than once a week?
I'm not fat. I drink a lot of water, and eat fairly healthy. Yet it's so hard to go and I never am able to go more than once a week, if that.

How is your fiber intake? I mean fruits, vegetables and whole grains? It's not good for you to be continuously constipated especially if it hurts when you have a bowel movement. Eventually these sort of bathroom problems can lead to hemorrhoids which is a whole other world of booty hurt.
I'm not the OP, but i have a similar problem. It doesn't hurt me at all, but I know I should be going more often and can't. I'm also pretty small and don't weigh a lot. Can you give me some advice as well? What to eat, what to drink, or a recommendation of any laxatives? They're not prescription, right? I'd rather be able to get something quickly and easily without the annoyance of a doctor.
Do not use laxatives kept normal defecation is constipation and faecal stink and stench does not bother Hada
Dont use over the counter pharmaceuticals! Theyre toxic and overpriced! Eat some organic prunes, and what always makes me go is espresso with honey. I always have to poop half way thru.
YOUR BEAUTIFUL, YOUR BEAUTIFUL ITS TRUE, WHEN I SEE YOUR POOP, NOT VERY OFTEN, K DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WILL GIVE YOU HEAD
Go to Wal Mart, buy a bottle of fiber chewables and some caffeine pills and I can promise you will be going more than once a week.
It sounds stupid but this is an easy and practical solution.
You also may have a food allegrgy like to gluten. I know someone who is allergic to gluten and used to only go about once every 2 weeks before they found out and changed their diet.
Chickpea flour was the only thing that was able to cure my chronic constipation. That and increasing my liquid intake.
You probably just need more fiber intake. If that doesn't work maybe you can take a laxative or go to the doctor to make sure you have nothing where in there.
