Several bowel movements in a day good or bad?

i have been trying to get into shape so i started drinking cranberry juice.i have like 3 bowel movements per day. is that bad?
what does a bowel movement do?
Answer:
Its fine as long as it is not diarrhea. When you go to the bathroom you are getting rid of all the waste that your body does not need.
it sounds pretty good
I think it is ok, as long as it isn't causing you any problems, and doesn't last forever. An increase in fiber will make you go more. If you are concerned, call your doctoy.
Several bowel movements a day is not a good thing because it can lead to dehydration. Your body needs time to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. It cannot do this if your gastrointestinal motitility is so rapid that the chyme (the semi-liquid substance that food is broken down into in your stomach) passes through your intestines before the nutrients are absorbed from it.
