I probably average about one bowel movement per day, although my intestines seem to be very sensitive, and often freeze if they encounter something unfamiliar. Sometimes they’ll even freeze for one or two days.
Once in a while I’ll have two bowel movements in a day, and it feels great. If only that could happen every day.
I really haven’t worked out all the influences, but consistency in diet seems to be one, and relative freedom from stress another. I’ve tried eating more fibre, but that seems less important than making sure the intestines are happy. Some of my best bowel movements - haha - have occurred when I’ve been eating very low fibre.
Has anyone here managed to speed up their transit time, or gone from 1 to 2 or 3 bowel movements per day? As far as I can tell, frequent bowel movements generally reflect well on the state of one’s metabolism, and of course constipation is extremely common in hypothyroidism. I also understand that the faster the transit time, the less susceptible one is to gas, and that’s very appealing.
