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 having trouble finding Silybon 140 that was prescribed for me to take three times a day. Would it be okay if I instead take two doses of Silybon 70, also three times a day? I'm a bit worried about making sure I get the right amount of medication.
-Yes, you can use two Silybon 70 tablets three times a day as a substitute for Silybon 140, as the total dosage will be the same. However, it's always best to confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes.

I've been dealing with hepatitis A since last month, and I've noticed my SGPT levels are all over the place, sticking around 60-90 for the past two weeks. It's like they go down a bit and then shoot back up again. I'm trying to be careful with a bland diet and haven't been physically active, just doing stuff on the computer. Any idea why this is happening? Is it normal for SGPT to take a while to stabilize?
SGPT fluctuating after Hepatitis A is fairly common as your liver heals. It can take a few weeks to a couple of months for the levels to normalize, depending on the severity of the infection and your overall health. Keep following your doctor's advice on diet, rest, and lifestyle, and avoid any additional strain on your liver. If you continue to see fluctuations or have concerns, your doctor may recommend further testing to ensure full recovery.
