Hi /adv/, this is embarrassing for me to talk about. I've had undiagnosed bowel issues since I was a kid. My parents shamed me for it as I got older. Basically I had severe constipation that used to last for 1-2 weeks at a time, but now I'm regular.
I'm only regular because I discovered it's incredibly easy to pass stools while squatting on the ground, rather than sitting on a toilet. I can't shit on a toilet. It's painful and I have to strain ridiculously hard to pass anything, hence why I was constipated all the fucking time.
Now, I know I can't go through my whole life shitting on toilet paper on the floor. It's gross, unsanitary, and would be extremely embarrassing if someone caught me. Is there a way to make pooping on the toilet easier? I looked at squatty potty but I have long femurs and squatting that way is nearly impossible for me. I have to do some weird crouch/squat with my knees pressed against my shoulders in order for stools to pass comfortably. What do?
Sometimes I wish I lived in a country with squat toilets...

My stools are normal now, they're soft and easy to pass, but only when I'm in this position.
I'm not going to be a fucking waffle stomper

Pic related: problem solved.

I said in the OP that I already looked at squatty potty. The problem is I have to lean forward in that position. My ankles are ridiculously flexible but I'd fall over if I leaned forward on that flimsy piece of plastic.

Then get a chair to hold onto
This is basically what I have to do

How the f can I manage that at work or someone else's house?
>>18634565
Why are you pooping at other people's house or At work ? Hold that shit in I never shit anywhere but my house
>>18634548
There has to be some metallic or wooden equivalents (not necessarily meant for that use).
You could even make it / have it made to just the right dimensions.
>>18634568
I usually do but when you gotta go you gotta go

I'm going on holiday with my gf in two months and my relationship would go down the toilet easier than my shit if she caught me doing this autistic maneuver or carrying around a custom-made squatty potty

I don't know what to tell you them op , it's either this or shit on the shower since I doubt we can do anything more for you than that a doctor is your best best , or shit in the shower

Man I am so fucked
how can I even bring this up to my doc? What if he just tells me to see a psychiatrist to work on my autism first?
>>18634594
It's the doc's fucking job to help with health issues, they include bowel issues. If he can't do his job just go to another doctor. It's not autistic to have a bowel problem.
>>18634594
Just go to a random Doctor , not your regular and have them treat you , then you'll never see them again

Alright Ill make an appointment, thanks guys
I just want to poop like a normal person, fuck.
>>18634604
You maybe suffering from a condition called obstructive defecation, where the is a small pocket at the end of the bowels which stops the poop coming out normally. See your doctor and ask him to refer you to have a special x-ray called a procogram

Interesting, I'll ask about that. Good to hear it's possible this isn't all in my head.
Same here .. this is what I do. Squat to let it out then move to the toilet before it drops. Repeat for as long as you need to and relax to let the shit flow without cutting.
