It is. “Bananas, when fully ripe, contain soluble fiber and thus can help treat constipation,” Lee says. “However, unripe, or green, bananas have high levels of resistant starch, which can be very binding and cause constipation.”
Squatty Potty. Urology technician recommended one of these.

You're not kidding. Psychologically also. Perhaps they had or knew someone with a true obstruction. I don't know. But some people want to poop 6 times a day.

That would make it worse wouldn't it?

My house has two bathrooms. The one off the room I'm using as my bedroom is a high toilet as was the one at my former house. The one in the bathroom on the south end of the house must be a standard, because when I went to use it, I felt like I was sitting on the floor. The former owners must have let their kids use that one.

When I saw the subject line, I thought this was about a REAL "squatty-potty".......which in my opinion is not at all conducive to relaxed elimination unless you've been using one your whole life.

Or a puppy-pad.Or just put a tray on the floor, squat down and poop. No big deal.

Or increase the need for one. We have high toilets, easier to get on and off, but now also have the squatty thing...
Yep, seen a few of those, never tempted to give one a try...

Oh, I've used one many, many times when we lived in Turkey. We originally had one in our apartment but the landlord came in and cemented a western toilet on top of the squatty. Still had to flush it with a bucket of water but it beat squatting.....especially when very, very pregnant.
