A study reveals that bowel movement frequency significantly influences physiology and long-term health, with the best outcomes linked with passing stools once or twice a day.
Previous research has suggested associations between constipation and diarrhea with higher risks of infections and neurodegenerative conditions, respectively.
Gibbons and his team collected clinical, lifestyle, and biological data—including blood chemistry, gut microbiome, genetics and more—from over 1,400 healthy adult volunteers with no signs of active disease.
When stools linger too long in the gut, microbes exhaust the available fiber—which they ferment into beneficial short-chain fatty acids—and instead ferment proteins, producing toxins like p-cresol sulfate and indoxyl sulfate.
"What we found is that even in healthy people who are constipated, there is a rise in these toxins in the bloodstream," said Gibbons, noting that these toxins are particularly burdensome to the kidneys.
In cases of diarrhea, the team found clinical chemistries indicative of inflammation and liver damage. Gibbons explained that during diarrhea, the body excretes excessive bile acid, which the liver would otherwise recycle to dissolve and absorb dietary fats.
Fiber-fermenting gut bacteria known as "strict anaerobes," associated with good health thrived in the "Goldilocks zone" of one or two poops a day.
"It was eating more fruit and vegetables, that was the biggest signal we saw," said Gibbons, along with drinking plenty of water, regular physical activity, and eating a more plant-dominant diet.

Psyillium pills made me sick and nauseated so bad the bottle went into the trash so never again.

It won’t matter, you still end up with BO.
Ok, I couldn’t resist” “Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel. So, eat beans at every meal!”.
But, you’ll sound like the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles.
They’ll never come to my house then... 1 or 2 is a bad day 🤣🤣🤣
Typical is once maybe twice a week. Any more I’m pain and feel sick.
who is Gibbons and who paid for the study?
and eating a more plant-dominant diet.
And here we go. Meat is bad, m’kay?
If you’re on pain killers, it may behoove you to take something that will make you go regularly.
An apple a day...
“Sounds like the toilet industrial complex at work.”
Or the Charmin’ lobbyists paid for this study.
Two per day means you’re eating too much.
Makes sense but how do you “dodo” regularly?
It seems a mystery despite reading lots of theories my body more or less goes when it wants to.
I have noticed a few factors that seem to help me:
Hydrate
Peanuts
Fresh vegetables
Exercise/physical work
But especially this last one works almost every time (so well a few times I had to go in someone’s woods..sorry unknown dude or dudette):
After not going for a day or 2 go eat at hot Buffett but STUFF yourself, I mean up to you lower throat level almost.
THEN get in car and drive home (or where ever) on a rough road so you get bounced up and down for about 30 minutes.

Don’t sit on the toilet to poop.
In other words: Men should never sit, and women should sit only when peeing.
