    Don’t force it. Some people’s “regular” is every couple+ days. I know a guy who goes after every meal. The food you eat helps of course, and stay hydrated.

      You should really be going everyday, if you aren’t eat more fiber. Brown rice or quinoa are goated for easy fiber. I personally do a mix of quinoa, white rice, and brown rice that suits my tastes and needs. And if that doesn’t fix it then yeah you might be an odd one

        Diet has a huge impact on bowel habits. I go about once every two days since doing keto carnivore.

        When I used to eat burritos and pizza it was multiple times per day.

        Unless it’s causing a lifestyle issue, just eat to your health plan and don’t worry about it.

        Fwiw I still carry antidiarrheal pills with me, just in case, too many near misses from the burrito days

        Exercise can help start the bowels moving. It’ll help with flow. If you work out in the morning you’re more likely to have a satisfying movement.
