Is having four bowel movements a day an indication of liver problems, if so what problem?

Answer by  RA99 (76)

No it is not. It could be due to hyperthyroidism, vagina cancer. It could be that 3 bowel movements is 'normal' for you. Bowel movements vary widely from person to person. See a doctor to be on the safe side.

Four bowel movements can be normal if it's normal for you. Multiple bowel movements can be caused by a variety of digestive conditions, including IBS and IBD. Liver problems are usually characterized by pale or white stools. If they are normal in color, the problem probably is not the liver.

Four movements a day is not a sign of liver problems. Proper bowel operation is between two and four movements each day. Most people will fall right in the middle of the scale. liver problems usually manifest with yellow eyes and pain

I was told that for every time you eat a meal a day you are supposed to have that many bowel movements in one day. you should be okay!

Four evacuations not only indicates liver problems. This may be indicative of problems in the gut (most likely). This can occur due to poor diet, emotional problems (work, relationships and others). If you are sure that these are not your problems then the best alternative is to seek medical help.
