A member asked:
What is a regular bowel movement and how can i make myself more normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Regular: The definition of regular boewl movment has a range from 3 times per day to 3 times per week. Whatever your regular cycle is ok as long as you stool without straining or hard stools. Diets higher in fiber and making sure you drink enough water help to keep regular.
