A member asked:
Is that regular to have 1 bowel movement daily? sometime i don't have bm at all throughtout the day, is that normal? i also eat plenty fiber and water

Normal: That is normal. Not having a bowel movement daily can be normal as well. Your goal is to have a bowel movement that is soft, and easy to pass. It doesnt matter if it occurs daily or every other day. Continue with the fluids and fiber. Natural sources of fiber as fresh fruits and vegetables are the best.
