Another question about BMs

[Eva62]

Okay, for almost my entire life I have suffered from constipation and then diarrhea.  i try to keep up my fiber intake, but I would still alternate between the two.  My doctor has always chalked it up to IBS and I really didn't fret about it (amazing huh?).  Now for the past month or so, my husband the health nut, has had me taking a multi vitamin and fish oil capsules every day, and boy has my BM habits changed.  Now I go sometimes 3 times a day.  Always normal nothing loose. Is this normal?? I never went this much ever!!  My husband will not discuss his bowel movements with me (I wonder why) so I am asking the real experts...you guys. 
I know this seems like a minor thing to fret about, but if I didn't have something, what would I do with all my free time?

I used to get periodic diarrhea from IBS until I started taking a high quality Omega 3 a few years ago.
Vitamins defineitly can cause your urine color to change along with some bowel changes. Some vitamins
in high doses can induce diarrhea in some people; for example magnesium. My physician said vitamins
can cause different reactions in different people. I would not worry.

Yeah, ever since I started taking vitamins my urine tended to be darker even though I drink a lo tof water.  Is this normal?

Fish oil is rather notorious for having a laxative-like effect.  It doesn't affect everyone this way, but I know several people, personally, that can't tolerate it.

I never knew that.  It's not listed as a possible side effect.  I'll cut down the dosage I'm taking and see if it changes.
