You’ve been pooping so long that it’s easy to take the simple-but-necessary act for granted. Not being able to go at any given moment probably won’t wreck your day, but it
can leave you feeling uncomfortable, bloated, and, well, crappy.
It’s important to remember that there is no standard frequency for bowel movements. Some people poop every day, while others poop every couple of days. Both are normal and as long as you feel good, it’s not much to worry about.
However, you’re probably
well aware of how often you typically have a bowel movement, so when you’re suddenly struggling to go, it’s kind of a big deal.
