go and ask your doc the next time you visit a doc.

so far, the docs I met said 2 to 3 times a day is good. 1 should be the minimum. The point is to clear the shit in your intestine, especially colon.

in general, the advice I always hear is to improve the biome of your guts (can get from pharma those probiotic etc to help, or take natural yogurts) and eat more fiber from vege and fruits.

alternatively I am very sure pharmacist can recommend those food supplements that contains these. Once the biome of your gut has stabilized and healthy, there's no need to continue these supplements. Just need to eat healthy food.

(btw, each time you fall sick and take antibiotics, the biome will be impacted... )

why must eat forever? unless you are eating very unhealthily and the good bacteria in your guts cannot thrive there.
the idea is your gut is supposed to be a biome that is self sustaining...

if worry, take the probiotics on and off, so called to re boost the biome.

very true... long long ago, when i only shit once a day, my fart is smelly...

nowadays, 2 to 3 times per day... the fart has no smell...
(mine at least... and its me smelling it.... so no idea if I am biased... lol)

very naturally.... no need to do anything special, but I do notice that it is more effective after I am done with my breakfast and had my cup of coffee.
Makes very good timing really.

how else to earn their good profit and keep you coming to the pharmacy for more biz?
