Try Bowel Training

Another remedy often suggested by doctors is bowel training. This remedy involves you to train to have a bowel movement at a particular time each day, which helps make it more consistent. For instance, you can try having a bowel movement 15 – 45 min after breakfast may be helpful, as eating improves the stool’s movement in your colon.

Also, it’s vital that you provide sufficient time to have a bowel movement, and don’t hesitate to make use of the toilet immediately you feel like emptying your colon. While using the toilet, do not forget to make yourself comfortable by placing your feet on a footstool and relaxing your muscles. [2]
