Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear nothing to worry about it normal Bowel movement may vary about 3times in a day to thrice a week.
If you observed pain abdomen and cramps or mucous in stools you may need to consult your doctor.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid caffeinated drinks.
If any doubt about diverticulitis you may need to take CT abdomen.
Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
