I've pooped like 8 times today?
Okay so I've been pooping like about every 2-3 hours. I'm usually constipated. Most of the time, I poop every other day, or every 2 days. My doctor said that it was normal for me to be constipated because my mom is too. And when I do poop it's usually hard and takes a while. But, today, my stomach has been hurting a lot and once my stomach would start hurting I would have a sudden urge to go poop. Also, about the third time I pooped today, it was diarrhea, and the rest of the day it's been that way. Just now, I had the sudden urge to poop again, and I felt like as if I couldn't hold it in. As soon as I got out of bed and started walking, I started farting a lot. Once i got in the bathroom, i looked at my underwear and there was watery poop all over it. What does that mean? What can I do to stop it? I didn't feel anything come out of me except for the farts. Btw last night I ate a sandwhich and I think the cheese was expired, but I'm not sure. I'm not lactose and tolerant. And I've eaten expired dairy before and this has never happened.
Why do I poop 3 times a day? Is this normal?
Bowel health is an important topic, as changes in bowel movements can be a sign of a health problem. But before you begin to worry about how “normal” you are, you have to know what a regular bowel movement is for you.Many people wrongly believe that having regular bowel movements means you move your bowels every day. However, everyone’s bowels are unique to them, and what’s normal for one person may not be normal for another.You can have a bowel movement anywhere from one to three times a day at the most, or three times a week at the least, and still be considered regular, as long as that’s your usual pattern. More or less frequent would be considered abnormal, but not necessarily cause for alarm.Everyone has their own normal pattern of bowel movements, but if you find that you frequently experience symptoms of constipation, and if eating more fiber and drinking more water doesn’t help,talk to your doctor. He can determine whether a health check is necessary.
What does it mean if you poop 4-6 times a day?
My roommates only poop about 1 a day and think it's very strange that I poop so much. It feels normal to me though and my poop is always a normal brown color. Is it normal? Why do I poop so much? How many times a day do you poo?
Does anyone else poop between 3-10 times a day?
GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY, it sounds like you do have diarrhea and this is nothing to play around with. Your colon (where the poo travels before exiting your body) can only take so much forced pressure, and that’s what happens when you have diarrhea!!! Drink a lot of water, when you have diarrhea your at a great risk of being dehydrated because your body is not absorbing the fluids your taking in…everything is going right through you!! Your also at risk of developing hypokalemia, this is low potassium in your blood, which is an important element in your body for everyday life. Hypokalemia can be life threatening if untreated. So GO TO YOUR DOCTOR I hope this works and you feel better!!! Amanda
