Bm daily..today no urge at all. think because i did not eat a lot. does this mean constipation or poop just not ready to come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just not ready.: Our bowel habits can vary based on diet, water intake and activity level. Some days we may not go at all. Some days we may go two or three times, or more. So one day missing a bowel movement would not be defined as constipation, nor would it indicate that there's a problem brewing.
