When researching constipation on google I came across this article about the benefits of "squating" versus regular toilet useage. It claims "The anal canal is UNSTRAIGHTENED when seated. Bowel evacuation when seated results frequently in OBSTRUCTIVE CONSTIPATION. Adopt a relaxed, FULL SQUAT POSTURE and the anal canal STRAIGHTENS.1 " Anyhow, don't know if there is anything to this theory, but I thought it was at the very least kindof interesting:http://www.relfe.com/toilet_seat_constipation.html

I always use a stepstool to prop my feet on while pooping. I think it does make a difference. A doctor recommended it years ago and I've done it since.
