I have found that flax seeds are great for constipation- better than metamucil or even senakote type laxatives.

You can buy them in bulk from a natural food store and grind them up in a coffee grinder. Three teaspoons in the morning mixed with cereal or juice, or whatever does the trick for me. Tastes good too!

So, if anyone else has been diagnosed with IBS-C and wants to shoot the breeze about the effects of psychotropics on C, I'm game. I swear (and my psychiatrist agrees) that Wellbutrin caused my IBS-C.
