You have seen a GI specialist and gone through many tests to come up with the diagnosis of dyssynergia. SIBO test has no role in this case. Chronic constipation is one major symptom of dyssynergic defecation syndrome. It is not uncommon that you have had headache and vomit when you can't empty your bowel successfully.

For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
