For those who can't poop

[canadiangranola]

So....here's some unasked for advice for all of you from the weekly thread who can't poop.
(it's from Ina May, and works great for me and any of my friends who have tried it and reported back... :LOL )

Horse lips. Seriously...make horsy sounds with your lips (you know...where you put your lips together to push air through them and they roll against each other and make funny noises...?)

Seriously..Ina May uses it with her clients for labor....but since ALL of the sphincters are connected...well...it works wonders. Loosening up the mouth loosens up everything else.

The only bad thing is the embarassment factor (also why it's not so great for public washrooms...) of having everyone within miles of the bathroom know you're trying to poop. :LOL

Anyway...I hope that some of you at least find it useful

I think that has got to be the freakiest thing I have ever heard But hey it may be worth a try I'll just have to remember to make sure I'm alone :LOL .

It totally works! Half the problem with constipation is being scared to poop. If it's not that, though, you might have to just sit and pray. :LOL
