I just read about this....seriously.
From what I understand...
Aberkok is right on the money. Digestion--be it two big glasses of water or a plate full of steak and eggs--gets the pipes rumbling. 10-20 minutes after feeding, your body is ready to let loose. The rest is easy: sit down, read a bit, give it a go. If nothing should happen--and I swear to all that is holy that a dozen different websites and my aunt, the registered nurse with 15 years experience in just about everything care related all agree--you should stick your finger up there and give it a go.
In fact....

Digital stimulation should be performed every day to stimulate bowel movement, until a pattern of regular bowel movements is established. Bowel movements may also be stimulated by using a suppository (glycerin or Dulcolax) or a small enema.

All the information seems to agree that the entire "bowel retraining process" should take about 2 weeks. According to them, as long as your diet and such remain relatively stable, then you should be a regular clockwork poop machine.
Jeez...my first post of anything substantial since I don't know when and it's about poop.
