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.
