3 time a day is a bit much. I'd talk to a dr.

According to a GI on another site, the normal range is from 3 times a day to every 3 days. So you are right at the normal range. The flat stool would be a bit more of a concern, I think. How's your fiber intake?

my fibre intake is ok i guess...i eat at least 3 slices of brown with turkey a day..is that enuff? i drink a fair amount of water...what could be my problem?
