Drinking more water will not necessarily result in more BMs. I tend toward the constipated side of things with my small intestine doing an excellent job of resorbing fluids. Too good, in fact, making it difficult to pass formed stool. I can drink a gallon of water and all I do is pee more, which is normal physiology and what you want. I suspect motility has a lot to do with it, with mine being on the slower end. Most seem to accomplish slowing there’s with Imodium or Lamotil. I quicken mine with prune juice. Anything you can do to slow transit time and allow more time for your gut to absorb fluid is a good thing—more peeing less pooping.
