Can anyone relate ? Never feel like I've completely emptied my bowels

[Peanutbutterplease]

Had a pile , pile went it was stubborn got another one which bled only slightly struggling with hard stools trying different things for that .

However I have an awful feeling after I go to the toilet I never feel completely finished then all day it feels like I need to go again sometimes I do but 90% of the time i don't but the horrible feeling is there , anyone experiencing this ? Any remedies I can do over the counter or at home .

Hi Peanutbutter,

I’m going through a similar experience. I have a very small rectal prolapse, which means that I need to keep things regular and easily ‘passable’. And I also never feel ‘empty’.

I’ve been told to use a poo softener rather than one that adds fibre regularly. Movicol or Cosmocol. But I’m still not feeling empty.

I do hope that you can get back to ‘normal’ soon.

Good luck! Annie x
