I have read that 1-4 times a day can be normal. Just remember everyone's body is different.

Usually it's only a concern if it is painful to have a BM or if you experience gas, bloating, etc. that causes a problem in your life.

They are also usually placed under the umbrella term 'ibs'. I have IBS and there are days when I've gone poop more than ten times.

I was told in nursing school that between 3 times a day and 3 times a week is normal.
