Blunt question. I’ve always had kinda sluggish bowels but in menopause they seem to have gone into a state of inertia. My diet has always been good but I’ve tried to make it even better recently to improve things, lots of water and more fruit, but to no avail. Got doc appointment to check things out but was curious. Not really a topic I feel I can raise over a cuppa, hence posting on here

Once a day but occasionally twice a day

Three times a day as the norm. Can be once every 3 days on holiday or 5-6 times a day depending on what I've eaten.

Normally though once on waking, once after a couple of morning coffees and once later in the day. That feels like the norm but is fascinating how everyone differs. Can't imagine only going a couple of times a week as the norm. Do this sometimes on holiday (unconsciously shy) and feel terrible.

When I was normal it was every day 7am without fail, now it's 5-15 times a day the joys of ibs.
