Having ibs i do have a degree on going to the toilet, or not as my case generally is...

Bloated, uncomfortable, irritable. If you suffer from constipation, you can suffer from more than just a little discomfort.
1. Drink 2/3 glasses of hot water in the morning
2. Hot peppermint cordial
3. Herbal Laxatives ie, Senacot, or Senna, or Movicolon
*that do not hurt your stomach anymore than need to*
4. Exercise ie: squats
5. Prune juice *yak but it works*
6. Drink aloe vera juice to balance intestinal flora and to alleviate problem.
7. 1. Lie flat on the ground on your back. While inhaling, lift your left foot towards your chest very slowly.
2. Hold your foot to your chest with your hands for 10 seconds (hold your breath).
3. Slowly release the foot while exhaling.
4. Repeat steps 1-2 with the other foot.
You will keep passing gas while doing the above. Keep doing steps 1-4 until the pressure builds up.
8. For constipation to stay regular or to clean your system take glass of water and squeeze a half of a lemon or lime and half of a teaspoon of sugar and mix it then drink it before any breakfast or drink in the morning and you will see the results.
9. Drink a warm cup of coffee to help with constipation.
10. Peppermint is a laxative, so peppermint tea!
11. Mix one rounded teaspoon of vitamin C crystals with a glass of juice and drink right away. Guarantee it will work!
I know some of these will not help you, cos of the diet, and forbidden but some will be worthwhile for you!
