Suprachiasmatic nucleus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprachiasmatic_nucleus
"The suprachiasmatic nucleus or nuclei, abbreviated SCN, is a tiny region located in the hypothalamus, situated directly above the optic chiasm. It is responsible for controlling circadian rhythms. The neuronal and hormonal activities it generates regulate many different body functions in a 24-hour cycle, using around 20,000 neurons."

Circadian rhythms of gastrointestinal function are regulated by both central and peripheral oscillators
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3423141/
"Circadian clocks are responsible for daily rhythms in a wide array of processes, including gastrointestinal (GI) function. These are vital for normal digestive rhythms and overall health."

Should You Have a Daily Bowel Movement?

"It's a common belief that having a normal digestive system means having a daily bowel movement. However, this is simply just not true for everyone. In fact, "normal" could be anything from having a bowel movement a few times a day to a few times a week. There is no hard and fast rule as to what is a normal because it varies from person to person."

Understanding Constipation
http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/understanding-constipation-basics
"Your digestive system is remarkably efficient. In the space of a few hours, it extracts nutrients from the foods you eat and drink, processes them into the bloodstream and prepares leftover material for disposal. That material passes through about 20 feet of intestine before being stored temporarily in the colon, where water is removed. The residue is excreted through the bowels, normally within a day or two."

Looking Beyond Fiber to Stay 'Regular'

"Like many people, my parents believed that a "normal" digestive tract must cleanse itself of waste every day. They insisted that I was born constipated."
