You know, I have a lot of patients who go once a day, but
They're there straining for 20, 30 minutes.
To me, you're going once a day, but you're constipated.
So it should be comfortable and effortless.
And then two, it should happen in ways that don't interfere with your social or work life.
So if for you, having three bowel movements means you get to go quite easily, it doesn't bother you, great, three's normal.
If you're somebody who says, I've had to run out of meetings because I can't control this, or I don't even want to go out to brunch with my friends because I'm so worried about the bathroom situation, then maybe that number doesn't make sense for you.
So it's really individualized, but in a way, this is a wonderful thing because it means there's a huge range of what could be normal, and you really don't have to fit into that small box to live your best life.

One, yeah, the volume's going to go up because the fiber, the soluble fiber, is going to hold on to water.
It's going to be softer.

It's going to just come out quickly, effortlessly, and more easily.
It shouldn't be pure liquid.
It shouldn't look like mud.
I would say that maybe we swung in the wrong direction there.
But it will just be easier to pass.
And in fact, they've done these studies where...
For example, in the US, there's this statistic that we talk about, which is based on a survey of thousands of adults in the US who considered themselves to have normal bowel movements.
