There are also periods when there is little or no horizontal motion of the water; this is called slack water. Many professional and recreational users of tide and tidal current information have a rule of thumb to assume a relationship between the times of high/low tides and the times of the currents.
However, everyoneâs bowels are unique to them, and whatâs normal for one person may not be normal for another. You can have a bowel movement anywhere from one to three times a day at the most, or three times a week at the least, and still be considered regular, as long as thatâs your usual pattern.
Some people may have a bowel movement two or three times a day; others may have one every 3 to 5 days. Unless the frequency has changed a lot, how often you have a bowel movement does not matter. It is the consistency of the stool or your own discomfort that tells you if you are constipated.
