A member asked:
My husband and 2 kids have bowel movement about 2 to 3 times everyday, usually after a full meal. what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be normal: This could be completely normal. Some people have 2-3. If this a new pattern, there is pain in belly, loose stools, blood in stools, then I would be concerned. A large meal can cause a reflex that instigates an urge to defecate upon some people.
