A member asked:

Everytime i eat like breakfast, lunch and dinner im always in the bathroom having a bowl movement is this normal/?

Maybe: Many people have an exaggerated gastro-colic reflex. There is no "normal" number of bowel movements. If the stools are very loose or bloody, you are in pain or you are losing weight it can be a sign of an underlying food allergy or intolerance or other condition and you should mention it to your physician.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
