Always feeling like l need a poo

[juniepoonie]

Anyone feel like they need to poo a lot of the time l can go a few times a day but when I come downstairs after about 20mins l feel l need to go again. I never do all my poo in one go???

The best way to try to cure this problem is as follows:-

You have to train your bowels to obey you, rather than you obey them, so, when you go to the loo, sit there for twenty minutes, be sure to have extra time available, if required, if your visit is unproductive, finish and leave. (If it is productive, wait for about 2 or 3 minutes, do a wee and leave.).

Set a minimum time of 3 or 4 hours, during which, you force yourself to remain out of the toilet. Go back in (if you had to, before), after the time is up and repeat as earlier. Beware you should only try this method when at home and you are not able to be embarrassed by accidents. (During the lockdown is a good time to perfect this method). You should be able to retrain yourself over a two week period. Good luck and stay safe.

Do you actually get to the end somewhere along the line or do you still feel the same after your last visit?

Typical IVS - incomplete evacuation! I get it all the time. I go several times a day too.

Hi! When you have the urge to poo and go to do the business, do you actually pass something?
