It's normal: It's normal to have bowel movement once per day in the morning. If it's hard for you to do that, eating more fruits and vegetables, consume more fibers and most importantly, drink lots of water will help. There are also over the counter laxatives our stool softeners that you can take to help. Good luck.

May be normal: If you have a bowel movement daily, that is normal. If you have constipation, you may try fiber supplement like metamucil.
