Drinking plenty of water, exercise, roughage in diet help with constipation. Sometimes laxatives are also needed eg Miralax. Since you have IBS you should be under the care of a GI doc. It is best that you have her/him manage your symptoms.

With such severe constipation and from your description you most likely are overdosing on fiber when in fact fluids are as important and eliminating any caffeine and alcohol intake. I would also cut back on fiber. No supplement fiber for now if you’re eating a healthy diet of fruits and veggies and some grains. It may take several weeks to see improvement so don’t quit this regimen early.
