I poop 5-6 times a day, is this normal?
Serious answers only please!
I have been like this since I was probably 14 or 15, I am now in my 20's.
I never really thought about it until recently, but, is this even normal? Is there something wrong with me? I eat VERY healthy, including fruits and veggies and vitamins daily. I also work out 4-5 times a week and am 125 5'5''.

It is absolutely normal and VERY good that you are "regular"
it means your system works well at flushing out the trash.
Your system seems to work fast because you eat simple foods that are processed and absorbed quickly by your body. I'm guessing that it's pretty soft stuff too!
You seem to be at the optimum weight for your height too!
Good on you!
I Poop 5 Times A Day
Hi I'm no DR. but I think exercising as often as you do and having a high fibrous diet would allow you to go quite often. I find whenever I exercises (consistently) I can go up to 2-3 times a day. But I don't drink very much water and I eat 1 salad and 1 fruit per day.
I have young kids and so I often have to see poop. If your poop is normal consistence- not runny, good color, you don't have to strain- you are just fine
I think the best person to consult would be a DR.
Best of Luck
You could just have IBS. If there is any blood at all, go to the docs ASAP. I would eat a lot of yogurt with good bacteria to keep you regulated if there is no blood. There is also a bacteria you can put in drinks/yogurt/pudding that really helps with digestive health. It is called VSL #3. I never mess around with bowel questions anymore. I had my large intestine taken out due to Ulcerative Colitis and it makes your life easier if you go through the inconvenience of going to the doc for one day.
Nothing wrong with getting it out. The quality of your poop is more the question. If it is normal, you are fit and have a good appetite i would not worry.
I go 5-6 times myself. most times it is mucussy with blood
People who have hyperthyroidism defecate often. Generally, if you are not overeating and you go more than twice a day, you need to be seen by a doctor. Do you have any other problems, such as anxiety, insomnia, mood swings?
No, that is not normal. Average is 1-2 times per day!
