Being Alive: We each get our own schedule for the bathroom based upon age, what our diet consist of, how much fluid or our state of hydration and the list can go on for quite a length of time. One bm per day in a 23 year old male who is eating good amounts of protein and fiber is probably just perfectly normal.

Bowel movement: You didn't mention how many times you go in a day. If one time, it is fine. Your daddy has to see the gastroenterologist because bowel movement three times a day is not regular. Thanks.
