Frequency or pattern of your bowel movements may change over time. But if nothing else about your bowel movements is different — no loose, watery stools, abdominal cramping or bloody stool — the change is probably not a sign of any illness.
If you're having more bowel movements than usual, chances are you've made some change in your lifestyle. You may, for example, be:
- Eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which increases fiber intake
- Getting regular exercise or increasing your exercise
- Drinking more water
- Celiac disease
- Crohn's disease
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Medication side effect
- Ulcerative colitis
