Hello. : Hello. Irritable bowel syndrome has a number of symptoms which include diarrhea alternating with constipation. If you have had very little in the way of bowel movements, you could have a build up of feces in your intestines you might wish to try a mild laxative along with at least 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day, 5 servings of vegetable, 4 servings of fruit and good quality fiber.
