Loc: New Jersey-dont laugh!

I read in a magazine a suggestion that doctors tell their geriatric patients who often have consitipation...sit on the toilet like normal, the lift your legs off the floor and bring them up at a 90 degree angle to your upright body (ps-you will look like half of a square if you remember geometry!) or you can tilt your upper body a bit back toward the wall as you move your legs up-this position somehow changes the angle of your intestines to the rectum and makes it easier to eliminate-I've done it many times and hope I described it in an ok way....!
