Hi i am 24 male i suffer from irregular bowel movement every day.. so please suggest me what should i do.. ?

You're not abnormal: Irregularity is common & does not necessarily signal abnormality. Average stool pattern in america fits a bell-curve, ranging from 3 movements daily to one every 3-4 days. Try adding fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) or commercial water soluble supplements to "regulate" stools. Raise concern if bleeding, weight loss, localizing abdominal pain or a personal/family history of colitis, cancer.

How do you know if your bowel movements are regular? For me, sometimes its once every few days, sometimes its twice a day, sometimes its pebbles, sometimes its other shapes. It seems very irregular. Should I be worried?
Bowel movements have become irregular in the last months. Sometimes they are quite large and sometimes they are just pebbles. Usually once every 3 days. Not sure why its so inconsistent. Increased fibre, berries, and water have had no impact. Help?
