Husband always takes something in to read.  I am not in there long enough, I just perform and come out unless I am bunged up then I take in my electronic word search game  :)



Me too, being mother of four children, and now two grandchildren, there wasn't ever any time to rest on your laurels !!!  In out in out became second nature and I'm the same still. ;) ;) :D

I once read somewhere that if you suffer with piles then is is not a good idea to sit for too long as the gravity, along with the pressure, can pull them down and make them worse

Me too! Oh how I wish I didn't have to spend so long on the loo. Unfortunately incomplete evacuation means exactly that. It would be very messy if I didn't!  ??? But generally, if you don't have my issues, you shouldn't sit too long. Best to get up and move around.

Does a warm bath help Ju Ju, not always practical but I remember the babies evacuating with a change of temperature  ;)

We have a Porta-potty in the camper but it ain't very comfy and we don't use it only to do pees at night.  However ……..  :D.  We had a blue hard plastic potty which was equally as uncomfy!

May I ask a personal question …….  :-\ when my bowel is 'slow' or I feel impacted, my bladder needs to wee more often.  Is this 'normal'?  My health anxiety has been up whilst we were in Yorkshire  :sigh: [see my bladder thread]

Think its quite normal CLKD, ( Hope I have those in right order!) when we think of our anatomy the bowel and bladder are in very close proximity, so if your bowel is full, it will eventually put pressure on the bladder giving your the urgency feeling.  Sometimes I have the reverse problem  >:(

Whilst travelling on Monday [see my thread about bladder], needed to pee then had pressure on the abdomen which made me queasy and the need to pee again …… I had to stop twice coming back earlier today  :-\

Irritable bladder is certainly a well recognised symptom following an irritable bowel episode. I am always prepared for that!
 Hope it didn't spoil the trip.
