There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.

I'm taking Metolar XR 25 and have been on it for about 10 or 11 years now. My blood pressure is staying pretty stable, but I've been dealing with some uncomfortable GI issues. I'm having lots of gas, stomach rumbling, loss of appetite, and a burning sensation in my stomach. Plus, constipation is a problem. Do you think it's time to switch medications?

I'm thinking about starting my day with two boiled eggs on an empty stomach, but I've heard mixed things about it. Some people say it might cause gas. Is it actually safe to eat boiled eggs first thing in the morning, or should I be concerned about digestive issues?

I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm really seeking some advice. After eating, my stomach feels bloated and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go away. I've consulted an Ayurveda doctor before and they mentioned I have high pitta and vata, but I'm still dealing with these issues. It feels like even after I go to the toilet, it's incomplete and I'm often back there soon after. My intestine area just doesn't feel right. I've also been sweating a lot, feeling tired and struggling with low concentration. My face seems much darker than the rest of my body and my skin is really dry and wrinkled. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can find some relief. What could be causing all of this?
