ok. I was wondering how often is normal to have a bowel movement. I know we are all eating less but I am concerned because I will only have a bowel movement every 5 or 6 days. Is that ok ? Anyone have any input ?  Do I need more fiber ? HELP ! lol

 I had a similar problem and my doc put me own fiber capsules.  It helps alot.  Plus I eat one 3 oz bowl of fiber a day for breakfast- oatmeal, cheerios etc.

I was about in the same boat. Now I am taking Vitafusion Fiber Gummies from Costco and I also try to eat oatmeal each day. I am more regular now!

Your body will have a bowl movement when it is ready, especially if you are eating bad food. However, if you are having difficulty with your bowl movements ~ such as constipation
My nut recommended a stool softner like Docusate. I have also been drinking a tea called Smooth move, which the name fits perfectly!  I plan on going to Costco for the gummies as well!  I hope this helps!
