That people poo every day or every other day, not once a week.

Looks like we have representation from both ends of the spectrum here ๐
Poopin every morning with your morning coffee (as seen on tv) is a weakness. Be proud!
3/week to 3/day is considered normal in many docs I read. As my body started to hate gluten, I was up to like 6/day. Now back down to 2-3 (but sorely missing bread, pizza, etc.)
did you ever get tested for celiacs, and or insensitivity? thats usualy the most common thing.
A parent has Celiac's and I know I'm a carrier of one of the associated variants related to it from an old DNA test. For unrelated reasons (positive for blood fecal occult of yearly health check), I had cameras in basically all of me and they found no indications. However, I had been mostly gluten free for months. Before the stomach camera, I did eat gluten for a few days, but nothing interesting showed up. I was told I could do some blood tests off insurance at a high price (probably not too crazy since this is Japan and not the US), but it wouldn't actually be useful; currently there are no medications approved for use in relation to celiac's in Japan and it would just make my life insurance more expensive and have other potential weird side effects.
My mom and her side have always had issues as well, being diagnosed as IBS among other things. I chose to get sterilized so at least the problem, whatever it is, ends here, heh.
I was taught the 3/3 rule in pathology class fwiw.
Lactose for me. No more cheese or ice cream or it's also back to 6/day. Luckily there is medicine for the occasional treat.
Vegan cheese and non dairy ice cream are pretty good these days! Ben and Jerry's has a pretty big line of them, and miyokos makes amazing cheese!
Vegan cheese isn't really a thing here in Japan (hell, "real" cheese in general isn't), but I can say Japan also has some pretty decent soy-based icecreams.
I need so many lactaid pills to help I just gave up and accept the bathroom.
Try well aged hard cheese, most of the lactose is processed by the microbes. Naturally fermented yogurt is also low in lactose, but it needs to be thick and only 2 ingredients (milk and culture), if it is runny or has thickeners, avoid.
Good quality butter also has minimal lactose. It should basically be 100% fat.
Be careful though, it may be a dairy protein intolerance rather than lactose, usually this is more severe.
