Anyone thinking of investing in a squatty potty (not sure what they cost) could also look at small plastic step stools in the kids' section of department stores, or IKEA, or even a Dollar store, or a hardware store. Little kids use them to boost their height to reach the sink faucets. Like a booster seat! All you need is a small stepping stool, or even block of wood with the right dimensions to raise your feet a few inches when sitting on the toilet. Not sure if it would still work for people with no colon. I think a squatty potty works by raising your feet, and pelvic area, a few inches to open a certain muscle, which we no longer have. If a squatty potty works for anyone with a j pouch, please say!
