A member asked:

Since last week i have 3 times stool in a day stools are normal brown. after one stool i have urge to stool again is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At least in America: As addressed on HealthTap before, normal stool pattern in America is actually a range. Most people will defecate from once every third to fourth day to three times a day. The timing of stooling depends on intake, transit, more.Changes in stool caliber & texture, evidence of maldigestion/ malabsorption, blood, & sometimes altered color all signal cause for concern that warrants medical evaluation.
