I have had normal consistency stool but I have sometimes 4-6 bowel movements in a day. Is it normal IBS-symptom?

More frequent normal consistency stools is seen in IBSers if they manage to normalize the stool consistency but still have a bit of an over eager "gotta go" signal. Basically you don't hold things up until you really gotta go and get the gotta go signal as soon as anything shows up at the end.Normal stool frequency in people without IBS is from 3 per week to 3 per day.This is not a symptom of anything other than some rectal hypersensitivity which is a part of IBS.

Thanks again, Kathleen!
