Constipation etc

I was just wondering whether anyone on here had issues with alternating constipation and needing to go all the time?  My diet doesn't change at all and I drink plenty of water, fibre etc etc but I seem to go through periods of either constipated or going many times a day.

Many thanks

Hi.  I have the same issue. It was diagnosed as IBS with constipation. I would be stuck fo fourvor five days then a potty jogger for 2 days. When it broke free, the pain would be so bad I would vomit.  
Although Celiac disease was ruled out, the symptoms have lessened in intensity from laying off breads, dairy, and soda and a big let up in caffiene.
I hope you feel better soon.

When you are constipated it is like a dam, when the dam gets unblocked there can be a lot of feces in you needing to come out. Especially if you use laxatives.
