Oh yeah.... I always get clients in on those high protein diets with noice clogged up plumbing. Poor thing!

What everyone else has said, increase the fibre, you can apply witchhazel topically with a cotton ball, or in a sitz bath. I recommend that EVERYONE invest in a low stool and you can have in front of the toilet, and pop your feet up on it when you go - raises the knees, and unkinks the bowel nicely! We're actually designed to squat, but our funny western toilets have us sitting in a nice, polite, upright position.... which makes things worse! Lots of water etc. I was a bit like Pavlov's dog as a kid - if mum thought I was spending a bit too much time on the loo with no luck, she would bring me a nice big glass of warm water. Worked like a charm everytime! He he he.
