I only have a bowel movement once out twice a week. i've just recently asked someone their opinion and they said it wasn't normal. any idea the cause?

Probably normal.: Some people have bm only once or twice per week. If this has been your normal pattern and you have no real symptoms no one but your doc can tell you it is not normal. Note to self, do not ask strangers for medical advice.
