How come i only poop once a week?

Depends: It can be normal to only defecate once a week, however this is very uncommon. The normal human tends to stool about one to two times per day. See your doctor for an evaluation if you are concerned or if your weekly stool habits cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain.
