then every single person will have one bowel movement for each meal of the day (3 for adults, many more for infants). I have read a great deal of his info as well as that of other holistic practitioners whose area of research is gut health. There is absolute consensus that regular bowel movements are essential for good health. I think this is true and I tell parents it's true. Jennifer Jennifer - I don't doubt the research here - but I must have been constipated my whole life then - 47 years! I have 'never' been 'regular' even when I've had diarhhea, nor might I add have the rest of my family except my husband! Maybe 3 in one day then none for 5 days! - and what is 'regular' for one would be 'irregular' for another - I would think it very 'irregular' if I had 'regular' poos too. - sorry seems a mute point to me, almost like saying all babies need to be fed every 4 hours! - another one we've had to get through.
