Different diet: diets make a big difference You might have had more fiber in your diet previously so you had a movement everyday If you are eating differently here it maybe different because of bacteria and less fiber Increase your fiber

Yes.: Definitely the change in time, environment and diet can affect your bowel movements. Be sure to get plenty of rest, drink more fluids and increase fiber. If having a bowel movement every 2 days is causing you discomfort or pain, then a laxative could be tried. Talk to a doctor.
