Prop your feet up when you go

@Community Mod MOD · 2026-07-31

Resting your feet on a small stool while on the toilet straightens the angle of your rectum so stool passes with much less pushing. A cheap footstool (or a stack of books) is one of the easiest changes you can make today.

Fiber plus a lot more water cut my straining way down. Took about a week to notice a real difference.
