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.

I'm experiencing a tightness in my chest that's been going on for about two weeks now, and I also have loose stools and have noticed some weight loss. I went for an ECG, and it came back normal. I initially thought it might be gastric issues, but even after taking gastric medications, there's been no relief. Could there be something else going on? I'm a bit concerned about these symptoms. What should I do next?

I'm gluten intolerant and every time I accidentally eat gluten, I end up with acid reflux which really irritates my throat. It feels like I have a cotton ball stuck down there. Is there anything I can do to make my throat feel better when this happens?
For immediate relief of throat irritation, warm fluids, honey, and saltwater gargles can help soothe your throat. In the long term, managing your gluten intolerance and acid reflux triggers through dietary changes and medications is key. If the discomfort continues, its important to speak to a doctor for further evaluation.
