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 my meals at 11am and 7pm, but I skip eating in the afternoon. Around 3pm, I start feeling like my food isn't completely digested, and I'm taking unienzyme tablets twice a day for it. Do you think it's okay for me to take the unienzyme a third time around 3pm to help with this?
break down your CBC (Complete Blood Count) results: *Results Analysis* 1. *PDW (Platelet Distribution Width)*: 17.1 (Normal range: 10-17) - Your PDW is slightly elevated, indicating a possible variation in platelet size. 2. *WBC (White Blood Cell) Count*: 11.4 (Normal range: 4-9) - Your WBC count is elevated, suggesting a possible infection, inflammation, or stress response. 3. *HCT (Hematocrit)*: 41.8 (Normal range: 34-38) - Your HCT is slightly elevated, indicating a possible increase in red blood cell concentration. *Suggestions* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your results with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of these abnormalities. 2. *Infection or inflammation check*: Your doctor may recommend further tests to check for underlying infections or inflammation. 3. *Stress management*: Engage in stress-reducing activities, as stress can contribute to elevated WBC counts. 4. *Hydration*: Ensure adequate hydration to help maintain healthy blood cell counts. 5. *Follow-up tests*: Schedule follow-up tests to monitor your blood cell counts and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

I've just got my routine check-up results, and everything seems normal except for a mild fatty liver grade 1. I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT is at 257 and SGPT is 93. All other tests, including the urine test, came back normal. Could you help me understand what this might mean and if I should be worried?

I've been dealing with acid reflux lately, and I'm worried if it's related to my asthma or if it could damage my lungs in some way. Could GERD be a cause or make things worse?
