A member asked:
I eat regular so if i don't poop everyday does it mean i'm constipated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Constipation is difficult to define because stool may be too hard or too small for some, while others defecation can be to difficult or infrequent. Per studies less than 3 bowl movements a week is constipation, however, you can have daily, hard, stools and still be constipated.
