Is it normal to go 3 days without pooping?

Depends.It depends

It can be normal to go three days without pooping, especially if that’s typical for you and you feel fine. If it’s unusual for you or comes with pain or other symptoms, it’s worth paying attention to.

People’s poop schedules vary: some go several times a day, others only a few times a week. Going three days without a bowel movement isn’t automatically a problem if it’s normal for you and you’re not uncomfortable.

If you feel bloated, are straining, or your stool is hard, you may be constipated. Fluids, movement, and fiber-rich foods can help; try not to force it.

Get medical advice if this is a persistent change for you, or if you have severe belly pain, vomiting, blood in your stool, or a swollen abdomen.
