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've been experiencing some chest pain that's worrying me, especially when I bend over or first thing in the morning. Its more like a pinning sensation sometimes. I've had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and they all came back normal. I'm currently on gastric meds like Razl, VSL#3, Sucraloc, and Normaxin. The pain mostly bothers me when I wake up, but not so much during the rest of the day. Could this be muscular or something gastric-related even though I don't have heartburn? I do notice the pain very occasionally while eating, but it doesn't last long. What could be going on?

My wife seems to be having a bad reaction every time she eats eggs. It feels like she's getting this painful, acidic sensation in her stomach. What could be causing this, and is there something we can do to help alleviate her discomfort?

It sounds like your wife might have an intolerance or sensitivity to eggs, which can cause stomach discomfort or acidity. Avoid eggs for now and give her an antacid or home remedies like cold milk or ginger tea. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out other conditions.
