I've struggled with either being constipated or it's opposite for decades. My physical therapist suggested that I get a stool, aka squatty potty, lol. I resisted initially but finally gave in and got one. It's unbelievable how much of a difference it has made for me. I would have started using one sooner, I likely could have prevented the rectal prolapse I had. Also, I was taking Linzess for a while, but really hated it's effects. I recently started taking Movantik, and I definitely prefer it. Other things that have helped, ensuring that I drink enough water, and get enough fiber in my diet.

Pooping is a lost art, position is everything!

Yes, Jj-staying hydrated-I can't remember how many times my mom told me and my childhood friends to drink water. in my 20s whenever I had a headache, she'd always ask me if I drank some water today.

Finally HUNG that picture on the wall. It's my daughter and our goats!
