Hi your preaching to the choir!  Have you seen a GI doctor?  I have the same symptoms as you and I have IBS but the constipated kind.  I'm like you it will happen once in a while and that about once a month usually around the time of my period I get good and cleaned out.  Its funny because last night I was in the ER for pancreatitis and they did an CTScan and said the scan looked good but boy was I constipated!  I laughed at the doctor and said Always he was relieved!  I know you may not see the humor in it now but a GI consult is probably the right thing and I would guess that a colonoscopy would be in your future.
