    A Poop one a week is totaly fine but if you're unsuccessfully trying for a bowel movement/poop for 3 hours something's not right. A more fiber richt diet might help. Also drinking enough water helps. Mabe get something like a squatty-potty or channel your inner rat king.

    Recent study says good = around 4 to 21 times a week. https://www.sciencealert.com/your-poop-schedule-says-a-lot-about-your-overall-health-study-reveals

    Twice a week is considered constipation.

    So I did a little more reading you're and you are right. Most sources that I found say 3x/day - 3x/Week is the usual range. More important is the Bistrol stool scale, I mean if you are having a poop once every 4-5 days but the consistency is a perfect 3-4 I dont see any harm in that. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale)

    Sources I checkdd

    Have you tried magnesium? You can get it in a lot of different foods. Just look up what foods have it. You can also take magnesium supplements. I used to be like you, and once I started taking magnesium it got me to go regularly like everybody else.

    Make sure it’s the “citrate” variety. That’s the one that mostly helps move things along. There are other types also available as supplements that have different effects that probably won’t benefit someone looking for digestive help.
