Pooping Abnormal?

q78
that i know of, i always pooped 1 a week at most, and it was usually big, but nothing drastic.
but recently, I've been dieting, and now i poop everyday, and its now really big, and it hurts to pass, since i know how it looks can help here a description, floater,not dry, looks like clumps together, really big.
i go to school, and since i usually don't poop that often, i usually pee before and after school and then once before i go to sleep. Do you think this is a problem? or is there just a simple way to fix this..please help

umm actually, even though its more common to have sinkers, some medics say that floaters , (if not sick for unknown reasons) is actually ideal.In other words, if your food and digestion are proper, the stool will float in the toilet water, but i dont get them all the time, just most

You should be excreting every day, once a week is too little. Floaters mean there is something wrong with your diet usually, I'm not sure exactly what though. If it holds together and isn't black or yellow or white , you should be alright. You are supposed to poop every day!
