Is it normal to have to poop every morning right when you wake up?

Not abnormal: Defecation and urination when you awake is not out of the ordinary... Better to go when you wake up rather than when you're asleep...

Why not...?: As addressed on healthtap before, normal stool pattern in america is actually a range. Most people will defecate from once every third to fourth day to three times a day. The timing of stooling depends on intake, transit, more.Changes in stool caliber & texture, evidence of maldigestion/ malabsorption, blood, & sometimes altered color all signal cause for concern that warrants medical evaluation.
