Q: Constipation Coming And Going | Ibs

I suffer from ibs, but it's not too serious. I follow some indication my doctors and some people gave to me.
Some time ago, like a month ago, and since september, I was suffering from constipation. I was taking laevolac (which is a lax and a syrup to get back my regularity and put my intestines to work properly again). But I didn't problems since mid-november or the end of it.
The stress here lies in the fact that tihs week I was getting back to those days when I was constipated. To prevent it from getting worse and because today i'll sure eat some stuff I really shouldn't (
), I took laevolac again. I've already gone to the loo, but i'm afraid of having these problems again and having to take the syrup again - I don't want to be addicted to it.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks everyone, have a happy new year.
P.S. - I also have hemmroids. Nice, nice, nice :s

I get the oxy through my doctor in the states................But they have their own website oxypowder dot com I believe. Read the testimonials and decide for yourself. With the gastrointestinal system its very difficult to know which organ is not pulling its weight..........Stomach, intestinines, liver, gallbladder.................They all work together................Yeah, your right voodoo...........Check out the common most allergic foods.................It may not be a total cure but will bring some relief..........................For my boy milk and milk products are severe ie they are avoided for life...............A more moderate one is beef and believe it or not bananas and ginger a another common one is gluten.........Found in most things..........................If this is the case it will be a total nutritional turn around for you.........................If your serious find a good food allergy test.....................Some test 90 or more of the most common food allergies..............But in the meantime you can do your own experiment..........................Totall
y remove................I mean totally..................................A
ll of the food you suspect...........If your addicted to this food, you will feel symptoms similar to drug withdrawal........Whether milk products or gluten(the most obvious ones).........................For at least a week or two.......................Reintroduce and see if your symptoms come back.......

ok, thanks, I still hadn't thought about the allegies tests, but it seems to be a good idea.
I'm always affraid of getting constipated, sepcially when I don't go to the loo one of the days! :s
