A member asked:
Since my bowels don't move daily will the toxins come out other places like my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What toxins?: Normal bowel frequency ranges from 3 movements a day to a movement every 3-4 days. Stool is composed of bacteria from your gut flora, undigested food and ingestants, and products secreted into the gut (enzymes, bicarbonate, (sodium bicarbonate) acid, mucus, etc.). What are the "toxins" you are referring to that you believe are somehow retained if you miss a daily bowel movement?
