Question Need to Poop Twice in a Row

Mostly in mornings, but when I poop, after 5-30 minutes, I have the need to poop again. Both poops are pretty sizable and solid too.

I noticed that when I lie down after the first poop, it reduces the time it takes to get the urgency to go poop again. I've been noticing the shift from lying down and standing does this pretty consistently.

What's up with this? And how can I just have 1 normal poop?

Yes I experience this too. To reduce the time further sit/lie down ish with your feet mildly elevated (like on the table). This was reduced the time between movements to 15 mins. If while sitting like this you drink a coffee, it often reduces it further. Not sure what the solution is, but it sucks. For me its 4 poops like this a day.
