A member asked:
I frequently go without a bowel movement sometimes 2-3 days in a row. what could be the cause and what can i do to prevent this from happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusal: Different stooling patterns are common. It will depend on what and how much you eat. 2-3 days is of no concern unless you are uncomfortable. The easiest place to start is with a high fiber diet, low meats plenty of fluids and exercise.
