Good poop 1 X/day OK: Sounds like a good pattern 2 me. If u r having 2 push a lot & feel constipated, try a stool softener like fibercon no laxatives tho. Pruns & high fiber diet is also a good option.

HOW MANY TIMES A DAY: I don't thiink there's a proper answer on how many times a day a person should defecate. One doesn't want constipation or diarrhea, but somewhere in between where you're comfortable is probably right. My question is why are you concerned about this? That might be a good thing to take up with your doctor.
