A member asked:
Should my bowel movements be in sync. like at the same time each week. or should they come at anytime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel movements: There is no normal for how often or how regular to have a movement. Once every day or every other day is good. If your movement have not changed then this is good. A worry sign is changing bms or blood.
