Are Five To Seven Bowel Movements In A Day Normal?

Are five to seven bowel movements daily normal? A recent proctosigmoidoscopy and endoscopy showed no malignancies in my bowels. I also had a gynecological exam and it was normal. Every time I have a hot or cold drink I have gas then a a bowel movement. The movements are formed for the most part. It is causing my hemarroids to really flare up and I have a small lump on the outer part of the anus. What should I do about it?
