: Hello. I need some advice. For pretty much my entire life I've had bowel movements every week or so. I eat a good amount, not a vegeterian, not constipated, and in pretty good health. I do sometimes have BM two days in a row, or twice in one day, but average about a week. Does anyone have any information on why?

Hi Mike

It is often I go a week or more without a bowel movement but it is not at all comfortable. In fact, when that happens the movement is large and it is painful. If yours is routine and regular as you describe then I guess I wouldn't worry about it too much....
