      Milliexx and Danpreedy,

      You guys are adamant in getting this question answered! I really have no idea….and I don’t want to do an experiment to try! I’ve awful balance so I’m sure that what would result would not be pretty!

      I’m not sure if you guys are being serious or not but constipation is no laughing matter 😀 Don’t strain too much though because your bum may fall out……….<-not sure if this has been shown to be scientifically true but I like to believe it!

      😀

      Hi Miliexx and danpreedy,
      As you will find with good scientist I have done some research (asked a mate!) and I have been informed (not particularly reliably) that yes it does relieve the strain if you lift your legs up when you go to the toilet. But I would agree with Cat that constipation is no laughing matter and you should get to the docs if you have a problem!
      🙂
