Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.

View allI've been noticing that after I eat even a small amount or just drink a glass of water, I feel really full in my upper stomach, but my lower stomach feels empty. It's kind of weird and sometimes my stomach even hurts. Also, I've been needing to go to the washroom every 3 to 4 hours after eating. Sometimes, it's like there's a lot of pressure for a bowel movement. What could be going on with my stomach?
That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest

My dad has an 11 mm gallbladder stone and we're really worried about his health. Is it dangerous for him? Should he consider surgery or are there other treatment options? We're not sure what to do next.
Gallbladder stones can be dangerous if symptomatic; surgical removal is usually advised, especially if there's a risk of complications.
