There are also periods when there is little or no horizontal motion of the water; this is called slack water. Many professional and recreational users of tide and tidal current information have a rule of thumb to assume a relationship between the times of high/low tides and the times of the currents.
However, everyoneâs bowels are unique to them, and whatâs normal for one person may not be normal for another. You can have a bowel movement anywhere from one to three times a day at the most, or three times a week at the least, and still be considered regular, as long as thatâs your usual pattern.
Although most people think it is normal to have one bowel movement a day, the actual range of normal bowel movements is quite large. Most health care professionals consider it normal to have anywhere from as many as three bowel movements a day to as little as three bowel movements a week. More importantly is knowing what is normal for you. If you go from having two bowel movements a day to then not having one for several days this could indicate a problem. If you normally only have a bowel movement every few days but it is soft and you don't have to strain too much then this is perfectly normal.
