Angieâs List member Kevin Feeney, of New Canaan, Connecticut, says he was hit with $800 in dealership fees to purchase a $5,000 car. âI got up and said I was leaving and they asked why,â he says. âI said, âI donât do business that way.ââ.
School of Medicine, Family Medicine answered. Generally the normal number of bowel movements a person may have ranges from 3 per day to one every 3 days. Each person may be slightly different, and this variation is normal. Less than one stool every 3 days may indicate constipation if the stool is dry, hard, and difficult to pass. More than 3 stools per day may indicate diarrhea if the stools are loose or watery.
Moreover, most people are irregular and do not have bowel movements every day or the same number of bowel movements each day. Medically speaking, constipation usually is defined as fewer than three bowel movements per week. Severe constipation is defined as less than one bowel movement per week. There is no medical reason to have a bowel movement every day. Going without a bowel movement for two or three days does not cause physical discomfort, only mental distress for some people. Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence that toxins accumulate when bowel movements are infrequent or that constipation leads to cancer.
