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?

    Hmm, you shouldn’t be straining. Metamucil and plenty of water can help without lots of pushing. I find that making smoothies with berries, unflavored yogurt, spinach, and milk helps too.
