My best friend has just told me that ever since she can remember she has only had a bm once a week! and when she does its diarhea. She said she has no desire to go other than once a week. she doesnt get constipated and doesnt have probs with gas or anything other than a once a week bm. her doc is concerned about this and wants he to take some form of stool softener but from what i see she doesnt have these probs! I go almost every day and so does every one else i know, her mom said she was even like this as a baby, she is 31 now.

A person that does not have a BM at least every 3 days is considered to be constipated-- by the Rome Criteria!!!
