Re: Do you use a stool when going to the bathroom?

As I recall the descending colon is on the left side, so maybe the lean puts a little pressure on it to squeeze out its contents. I learned by accident, after coming in from jogging one time, that deep breathing helps a movement too. In asia, they commonly use ‘squat toilets’, which is just a toilet bowl in the floor that you can flush. Squatting may take practice. Tweet
