This may be normal,: since it is normal to have a bowel movement (BM) up to the same number of times as one has a meal. You likely have a lively gastrocolic reflex. Since you have four meals daily, you can have up to four BMs. This may be normal. If it bothers you to have four BMs daily, consider going to two or three meals per day. If you're still worried, please see your doctor for diagnosis & any needed treatments.
