Brief Answer:
Does not seem concerning

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I assume that you mean bowel movements when you say BM. Let me assure you that passing stool twice daily is perfectly normal and not a cause for concern. You need not worry about it.

Let me know if I could help further.
