Constipation prevalent IBS

Have tried Rifaximin, but no help. In the 3 weeks since I finished the 2 week dose, my symptoms changed. More urgency and cramps and mucous. I the the antibiotic may only help people with diarrhea rather than constipation.
Any info or advice?

Thank you so much. I always do "what the dr.
orders" and he suggested that I try that. I just had a ct scan, do am waiting for those results. I'm so fearful of becoming laxative dependent. But anything would be better than this. May I ask you more questions?

Did you try taking Miralax twice a day?  Also beware of preservatives and gluten, it caused constipation in me.
