    I’ve turned too old… If I sit not all comes out and I have to go again an hour later.

    It sucks.

    My doctor tells me it’s that I’m just getting older… I’m mid 40.

    So standing is the only really effective way to pee for me now sadly

      Same

      Plus if I sit, I’m gonna fart. If I fart a little poop might join it, and if I start pooping I’m gonna be there a while. I’ve been a lifelong poop marker victim

          Honestly, I’ve had a varied diet throughout my life. From mostly cheese, potatoes, and meat; to a balanced diet with whole grains, lots of leafy greens, very little animal products, and plenty of water. While the quality of my poops will improve with fiber, the speed will not. I’ve tried cleanses, an enema, squatty potty. I always wind up needing to sit for several minutes for things to work themselves out. It’s been that way since at least my teenage years. If I start wiping prematurely, poop marker

            Have you tried a stool to elevate your legs and put you closer to a squat? It really helps the movement down there. I know that poop marker thing you’re talking about but i don’t get it everytime, just on rare occasions.

              Yep, the ol squatty potty. I love me a low toilet. Those ADA tall boys are for the birds. I just have a rebellious colon. I call him Fred
