Chronic IBS causing constipation - any tips?

Hey everyone! So I have chronic IBS I’ve had it since I was a kid. Although when I hear of IBS symptoms in other people they talk about constantly having to use the restroom and going a lot, although my IBS causes constipation. It’s not abnormal for my bowel movements to be twice a week instead of everyday. My twin sister also suffers from chronic constipation as well. I have changed my diet I have taken probiotic and probiotics and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any tips? And yes I have seen a doctor regarding the issue.

I also suffer from chronic constipation and miralax is a good laxative that doctors recommended because it doesn’t damage your colon as other laxatives do. a magnesium supplement also benefited me. and i would also get tested for your food intolerances because cutting out certain foods improved my constipation symptoms
