Normal range is...: Normal bowel frequency varies from 3 movements/ day to one movement every 3 to 4 days. Stool consistency, measured by bristol stool scale, varies from normal (4), hard (1-3), soft (5-7).Have ibs, colitis, infection been ruled out. Dietary fiber supplement may increase bulk and frequency. Bleeding, incontinence, pain needs evaluation right away.
