we have a similar problem - one of ours will plank when she needs to poo! she has worked out she can get the max bum clenching like this.. she can hold it so she lets out one raisin a day,,
tried poop softerner from doc - that didnt help - so he's given us suppository
she's still holding back on us!
but be careful, there are many traditional remedies, which are not working at all. i let my son tried a remedy which suggested by my grandma, ended up he went to hospital. really dangerous lah. better seek for those proven and proper remedies
