Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day.

I'm a female in my late teens and I've been having this weird thing lately, like for over a week now. My stomach's making all these gurgling sounds, and I've got some persistent digestive noises going on. On top of that, my hip area and lower back are feeling sore. I'm getting a bit worried about it.
