What Laura and Lauren said! This has been a problem for me off and on. From what I've learned over the years from doctors and from reading reliable sources, going from 3 to 7 times per week is within the normal range, as long as you're not having pains or discomfort from it. Going 2 or 3 time per *day* is usually considered too often. Personally, I try to get enough fiber and liquids, including steel cut (or Irish) oatmeal and coffee for breakfast and then high fibre breads, veggies. If you're having discomfort and/or pains, please see a doctor!
