This is an odd post and probably tmi for some people but on an average day how many times to do you pee or poop?<br><br><br><br>
I've been peeing a lot more since I turned veggie and my bowel movements have improved a bit as well.

 

[MZCsmpsns]

Well, I urinate about 6-10 times a day on average... I've been wondering about over active bladder, but I dunno...<br><br>
As far as bowels...basically once a day, like clockwork... after I wake up, sometimes just every other day though.<br><br>
I didn't notice any difference really since I became vegetarian or vegan. I piss a lot more when I drink alcohol though. Other than that, I think I'm pretty normal.

Pee: A lot, probably around 10 times a day, I'm addicted to liquids and always have been.<br><br><br><br>
Poop: 1-3 times a day, usually closer to 1. I almost always go right after I eat.<br><br><br><br>
HTH,<br><br>

i haven't kept track of how often i urinate during the day--probably 6 times or more? and as for bowel movements--it's usually one to two a day. i have soft stool as well.

 

[Lumos]

I've always had a very active bladder due to a single kidney and other such issues, so I go anywhere from 10-20 times a day depending on how much liquid I drink. As for. . .erm, bowel movement usually once a day, always in the morning after breakfast.

 

[catswym]

bowel movements about once per day. sometimes more than that, and almost never less (unless something is wrong).<br><br><br><br>
urination, probably 10-12 times per day. i go a lot, but i drink a lot too.

 

[LadyFaile]

i only pee about 4 or 5 times a day. i don't drink enough water/liquid. mind you if i had a lot of coffee or am drinking alcohol it goes way up lol<br><br><br><br>
bm's once a day, sometimes more, up to 3. sometimes i skip a day. and it's like clockwork as well, about half an hour after i wake up.<br><br>
before i went vegan it was every 4 days <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/shocked.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> !

I think we have now discussed everything on VB. all that's missing is a poll. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

But Purrpelle, you have't provided your own personal share of the TMI yet!

Oh we've had the poll. This topic poops up every 6 months or so, like clockwork.

<span style="color:#008000;">I go whenever I need to. I don't track it, or count. My body lets me know when it needs me to take it to the proper location.</span>

I've been having an issue with this. My pee is fine and regular, because I drink a LOT of water....but my bowel movements are lacking <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> I go once every 2-3 days <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> I'm trying to find a way to improve this. Maybe a colon cleansing is in order.

Fiber, fiber, fiber. If you're eating a lot of dairy, eggs, and white bread, you could easily be short on fiber. I suggest tracking your fiber intake for a few days and make sure you're getting enough. I had a friend (not a vegetarian) who spent years averaging one BM a <b>week</b> due to endometriosis, and when she started eating a lot less meat and a lot more vegetables (not quite a vegetarian, though), it got her up to a cool 1 poo a day. Yay vegetables!

I try to get enough fiber! I have oatmeal in the morning with a heaping tablespoon of ground flaxseed. I only eat wheat bread. I had zero dairy or meat products all last week. I don't understand <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

Do you know how many grams you're getting a day? I think the recommended minimum is 25 g for women under 50 and 38 g for men under 50. If you eat lots of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and legumes and you meet or exceed those numbers, I would guess fiber is not the problem.

I wouldn't answer this if I were you, guys. This is the first and only post by this "new member" and more than likely I imagine its someone with a weird bathroom fetish. We get the occasional post like this (often in the teen forums.... ewwww....) but they get deleted quickly.

You know my little girl had/has this same problem all the fiber in the world was not helping her.<br><br>
If your stools are hard or large you may want to go visit a GI doc, I was shocked when he put my little girl on a low fiber diet for a few days his wording was fiber will only make it worse if you do not get it cleaned out in the first place, after your cleaned out then go for the fiber.<br><br>
This is all of course assumeing you are getting lots of fiber in your diet already.<br><br><br><br>
Anyway if your gummed up and you eat healthy with pleanty of fiber and your still haveing problems go see a GI doc. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[karenlovessnow]

Don't forget that if you eat a high fiber diet you need EXTRA water otherwise the fiber will only contribute to your 'not going' problems.
