Hi everyone, im new to the forum. 25 yrs old, diagnosed at age 10, minor laproscopic resection 5 years ago took out ileocecal valve and 6 inches of ileum. (moderate crohns sometimes severe)
Something that has been on my mind: has anyone ever researched or used squatting toilets? Ive read alot about it on the internet recenetly, and it really has me convinced that it could be a better way to go to the bathroom, especially for ppl like us that have crohns. Apparently it allows the colon to not pinch as much and there is more natural pressure from the squat that forces everything out??
Im really interested in this but I want some advice from some real people not just internet ads. Thanks guys. -harry
**I write this especially because I had a flareup recently, and I had some scarring and narrowing in my sigmoid and transverse especially -- if there could just be some way to empty them more properly I could be fighting back against the disease and lessening the pain on my scarred intestines!
