Mind-Body Medicine: If there is anyway that you feel stress could be triggering or aggravating the ibs symptoms, you should find a mind-body oriented therapist. I've worked with people with ibs, and they have definitely improved! please don't give up hope.

Get appropriate Rx!: Doctors define constipation as stools less frequently than once every 3-4 days. Patients feel they are "constipated" when passing hard or small volume stool, or they feel full & bloated. Had an x-ray to show you're not blocked? Do we know if your gut is sluggish or your rectum works correctly--these can be tested for. Don't get frustrated, but see a GI specialist for the correct treatment.
