Does anybody else push on their sides when they're pooping? - eviltoast

When I poop, I’ll take my hand and make a “knife hand” and massage the area above my hip and grab the side of my stomach while bending over to help the poop get out instead of straining. It’s this weird?

    as somebody who has worked a bit in nutrition, you’d be surprised how many people live off soda and McDonald’s sandwiches or ramen noodles. An overwhelming majority of people poop solid coal-like nuggets of shit every time they poop. they huff and puff to get that shit out. your question on why would you need to strain is probably only relatable by a small amount of people here.
