Author: even if i eat lots of whole grains, fruits and veggies, i never get a bowle movement unless i eat fats such as pb, oils, butter, etc … is that what doctors says causes constipation?
and how often should have i have a bowel movent? everyone in my family has one daily normally. if i don’t consume fat, i get one once every four days. if i do consume fat, they are just little feces. far from normal.

You should have one at least once a day but if you have a really high metabolism you should go after each meal. Try eating fiber foods in the morning like a fiber one bar, apples, or almonds. It should come out in the shape of an s or c for it to be really healthy. Sounds like you need more water too. You should probably check in with your doctor but adding the higher fiber should get it going. Good luck.
