I suffer with bowls probelms - how long after a meal should i try to do a poo - how long should i sit on the toilet for. ?

10 minutes, 5 minute: If you've had a longstanding constipation, develop a habit of regular bowel movement. Two BMs within 10 minutes after breakfast and dinner, try at least 5 minutes each time. Taking enough fibers, e.g., Bran cereal, salad, and apple juice, cannot be over emphasized.
