Squatty Potty http://squattypotty.com/

A footstool to position your feet higher and legs more flexed definitely helps if you're having problems passing stool or gas. It's used a lot for children with bowel problems. Let us know how it works out for you!

I squat on the toilet seat with my socks. Much easier to have a poop with the rectum wide open..

Only downfall is that your bum bum is a lil higher and makes a bigger splash. And definitely isn't nice for diarrhea...

I started squatting because I could not contract my abdomen after gallbladder surgery. So it was almost magic when I started to! And I kept it up after I healed cause it was just so much nicer.
