@wolfie11969 ....good to see you and pleased to hear you are feeling a bit better now....have been reading the threads but not posted for a while either....hi all
Sorry I've been MIA - been mentally unwell.
Back to normal now, I think so here's hoping some people come to 'play' on the boards. You all seem to be MIA too
What am I doing right now
Straining myself on the toilet
I’ve been sat here for 20 minutes
No result just letting off wind
Hi Ian,all things come to pass
As the pet wrote ‘here I sit broken hearted...paid a penny and only farted
Hope things are getting better![]()

@Cumberland one of the things I've learnt my friend is take a book or a magazine in with you to take ur mind off the thoughts of going the loo.
Also if you can take a telephone book sized book, brick, etc and sit with ur feet on that as it eases the passage of the poop down the canal.
Good luck my friend. I've had irritable bowel syndrome since 1989 so know exactly what it feels like.
You can buy pills to help with the wind, charcoal often helps so think burnt toast.
Also if you're on a high dosage of pain relief that may be causing the problem so ask ur gp about a laxative you can take daily to keep things moving
