Is it normal for a person to take 4 - 6 poops a day?


Question:
I know someone who takes on an average of 4 - 6 poops a day. He says that he has done that for as long as he remembers. Is this normal or healthy? And usually it happens after he eats a meal like between 1 hour + after.

What do you mean poop?
humans are actually supposed to go between 4-7 a day, but most of us don't because of our eating habits, if we ate all natural foods with no additives or preservatives or other crap we would be going all the time.
Its actually healthy to have a poo after each meal. That is a sign that your "stomach mojo" is fine. Nonetheless, if there is reason for concern always talk to your doctor.
It doesn't sound healthy to me, but at least he is passing his bowels..That's better than not.
are you sure your not talking about yourself?
well, one time my friend put liquid laxitives this guys water, as a joke! she got suspended for that. she did it at school.
I don't know, but MAN that would be annoying! I hate not pooping at home and I like my nice long once a day poops so I can catch up on my reading and relax a bit
No thats not normal. Its normal to go everyday but 4-5 times a day is NOT normal at all. I know someone who had that problem and she found out that she had crohn's disease. (I think this is how you spell it) Tell your friend to gey himself checked.
I've been told by a Naturopathic physician that one per day is actually ABnormal. If you eat three meals per day, you should really poop three times, right? Makes sense. It means your friend's digestive system is VERY efficient.
no. He should see a doctor.
It sounds like he has IBS. Usually the person's nervous system is usually overly sensitive or underly sensitive. Sounds like his is overly sensitive causing everything to move through him so fast.
