Try to avoid the laxative habit by drinking lots of fluids daily including some hot water,eating fiber&getting regular exercise. If you have very little urge for BMs, try taking a gentle bowel stimulant like SenokotS daily according to instructions. If you get urges but can't move,work from below with dulcolax rectal suppositories or fleets enema. A prescription medication is available for IBS-C.

Try a high fiber diet, plenty of fluids, moderate exercise and Miralax as needed. You may take the tea. If the constipation persists pl see a GI doc. Good luck
