Balanced diet: Sometimes having the right set of carbohydrates and fiber is key. A detailed history on how much you are eating, how often your are eating, any medical problems can be helpful. If already diagnosed with IBS then some IBS medicine may help you. Fruits, vegetables, mediterranean diet may be helpful at having regular movements. Please see your doctor as soon as you can.

BM's: Not everyone is created equal, and not everyone will have perfect BM's every morning. Some people may not have a BM daily and still be in the "normal Range of BM's. Be patient, and keep trying different foods and be sure to stay steady in your routine of eating meals at the same time of the day, and eventually, you will develop a pattern of good BM health. Best wishes.
