RE: Embarrasing (?) Do you have to "go" everyday?

blubirde · Chanel

I was going about twice a week but this month I've made a big effort to get more fiber in my diet and I've been going every day or every other day. My stomach pooch is a lot smaller when I'm more regular. Gross but true.

Ever tried some smooth move tea? My roommate used to swear by it when things weren't moving like they should. I've never tried it but I think you can get it at the grocery store, or a Whole Foods or Central Market at the very least.

Wow, I didnt expect that many responses. Thank you for your concern everyone. I don't have any discomfort or anything, I drink a lot of fluids during the day. I've been going this infrequent for as long as I remember. DH suggested I do a "cleansing" diet for a day and then increase my fiber intake thereafter. Hmm, but Im going to ask the doctor for advice 1st.

Accordingly to my doctor your daily movements should end up being the length of your large intestine. i.e. you should be going everyday, more then once a day

I would suggest getting a colonic done to get you on the road to regular "movements". I have had a lot of GI problems and it did wonders for me.
