Is it normal having bowel movements every two days?

Yes.: It's completely normal for some people to have bm's every two days. I had a patient who went every 3 days. I also had one who went 3 times a day. Each person is unique. As long as you're getting a healthy diet full of fiber, vegetables and water, you should be fine. Cheers!
