How often is it healthy to poop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: it varies with individual sometimes two or three times a day and sometimes once a week If the stools are soft and you have no symptoms then that is enough. If you have sufficient fiber in your diet then I think you probably will go more often
