Hey, if you're comfortable, it's probably not a problem. It must be because the food you eat doesn't have a lot of bulk or residue. When I'm up to 5-6 days I start to feel really uncomfortable.
Do you eat a diet low in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc.? If so, a poor diet might leave you less protected against colon cancer and other cancers as you get older. The only downside to a healthy diet, is that many healthy high fiber foods cause a little gas while your body gets used to them.
