Hi,
I poop about once a week sometimes maybe every 5 days, sometimes 10. I eat plenty of fiber; my diet is mainly fruit, vegetables, and grains with very little meat, dairy, or fats. I also drink an average of 1.5 to 2 gallons of water per day, way more than average. I'm also active, I stretch daily, and will participate in some form of exercise at least an hour a day. So, is there any problem not pooping more? I don't feel constipated, and don't have any trouble when I do need to go, but I don't think it should be that infrequent. Having looked at others suggestions for similar cases I'm going to try prunes/prune juice, but are there any other thoughts?
Please let me know,
Thanks.

Everyone is different. If you are not uncomfortable and don't feel like you need to go, then don't worry about it. It is only a problem if you feel constipated. I have to go every day or I feel terrible. My daughter goes once a week and feels fine. Your diet sounds very healthy so stress less.
