hun i had the same problem! drink a lot of water and if your eating fruit everyday try ot eat more oranges because they have alot of fiber. really all you need to add to your diet is more water and more fiber. hope i helped!

You need fiber and hydration.

Usually when people are having trouble pooping, it is caused by lack of hydration or fiber. Like the other columnnist said, drink plenty of water. Also, go on a fiber diet, and see what happens. Fiber basically cleans out your immune system (like water similarly does), and literally "cleans you out".
You can also go with laxatives. If all fails, go to that, and try it. It is a little extreme, so I best prefer going on a fiber diet.
High in fiber: vegetables, baked beans (it's so HIGH in fiber, that's why you pass gas so easily from it ;]), and some grains.
Try it out for a week or too. If you are still having problems, see a Doctor.

That's not a good sign...but everyone's different. It's usually normal to go once (or twice) a day, or every other day. One reason you might not be going often is that you may not be drinking enough water. I also have days when I don't go poop, but it's normal to go once or twice a day. Start drinking more water and getting more excersize. Is this something that has recently happened? I think the best thing for you to do is speak to a doctor or nurse about this..it could simply be a matter of changing your lifestyle or diet, although it does sound like you're keeping healthy. Three common reasons for this are: a) not enough water in diet , b) not enough excersize, c) too much stress.
You could be constipated...this doesn't sound like something serious, but I'd call your doctor to see what you can do about it.
