A member asked:

Why do i rarely poop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Uyeda answered

Probably : Because you are constipated. But, there are certain disease condition that can cause slow transit time, so you should go and see a doctor. If it is just constipation, try high fiber foods or even fiber meds.
