What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements?
For the last week I have had 5 bowel movements every other day, not diareha. Can t identify any certain food . When should I start worrying. I never have constipation but tend to be more loose, but not this much. I have managed it my taking one or two limotals.

Hello,
In my opinion increased bowel movements may be due to intestinal infection.
A short course of oral probiotics twice a day for 5-6 days should take care of the problem.
Avoidance of milk and tea,coffee for next 3-4 days should also be helpful.
However if probiotics do not help then a oral antibiotics may be considered.
