A bit more than a week ago I had gastroenteritis. I'm over it now, but for about a week now I can't make going to the toilet work. I do feel the urge, but when I go only a little bit comes out easily (if anything at all) and while I feel there's more it requires tremendous effort to push and a lot of time. In the end I give up while still feeling the need.
Does anyone have a similar experience, or know what I could do to make it easier and/or how long this is going to last?

Yeah it's called Ortis. I said "block(s)" to describe the shape. In fact, the shape and appearance isn't far off from Oxo cubes. The Ortis ones are a bit bigger and you can either eat half a cube or a whole cube. If you've ever eaten fruitbread, then you'll recognise the taste as being quite similar. There are 24 or 48 in the pack (the latter being about £9 IIRC) and you can get it from the likes of Holland & Barrett.
What's your diet like? Have you tried upping your fibre intake?
Thanks for the replies though
