Normal stool : Frequency is once every four days to four times a day, in the absence of other symptoms.

Can be normal.: there are a few people who have bowel movements up to 3 to 4 times per day. As long as the bowel movements themselves are normal in appearance and there is no change in the bowel habits, this is not worrisome. Continue to eat a lot of fiber, and be sure to have a colonoscopy when you turn 50. Good luck.
