Frequent BMs: This sounds like something is wrong. Too frequent stools can be caused by infection, food allergies, food poisoning or even GI diseases. If this has persisted or is combined with any other symptoms please get in to see your medical provider as soon as you can.

Not usually: Sometimes fiber supplement will help control too much as well as too little movement. If that fails after a few days, should see a GI dr for history / exam / testing. Particularly since impacting daily functioning.
