Why do some people go so long between bowel movements?
June 8th, 2009 | 
Author: Men especially. I know so many guys who say they go 3 or 4 days without sitting on the bowl, and that's just not right. You should be having at least one (and sometimes two) bowel movements per day. If you're constipated, you should be seeking treatment anyway.
A couple of teaspoons of olive oil per day helps to keep the intestinal tract smooth and is a natural laxative, among the hundreds of other health benefits it has.
Gotta keep cleansing your body of all that filfth and sludge that builds up inside your intestines.
Wishing happy and healthy bowel movements to all.

Is this a informative ad for colon cleansing or a honest question? I think it could be both, depending on how you want to take it. I'll take it as both, but will answer the question too. Everyone has their own body rhythms. We don't all eat and/or exercise the same way. As a female I also used to go every other day when I was younger.(teens to 30's) Then I started to regulate into an every day rhythm. These are individual ways that everyone has. Gosh, if we were all the same we would be boring. The body works by the genetic make-up as I'm sure you already know. Haven't you ever heard of DNA? All this means is that we are a make up of our parents with environmental factors taken into account in our upbringing. Other than these possible reasons, I think that the answer is clear. Good luck with your other answers. I'm sure they should be very interesting. Again, good luck and God Bless
Why do you care about other peoples bowel movements?
people eating too much high fat and refined foods not enough whole grains and fruits and veggies. try to at least go every other day. but sometimes people do have a medical condition that makes it difficult like IBS.
