What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements?

My 16 month old passess stools very frequently - sometimes up to 5 times a day. The consistency and odour of the stools are normal. I am just wondering whether she looses the body minerals/water with such frequent stool passing. Also, might this be a reason why she is not a chubby baby, even though she eats fine? Could she have an allergy of some sort? Even though she has no allergy symptoms, except for redness around the mouth if she drinks cow s milk (which we boil for her, to avoid the redness). Thank you for your help.
