Okay, this is kind of gross, but does anyone have a problem having a BM and not feeling like they can finish? Like it is not all done, like there is still more, but can't? Has anyone used laxatives for this? My doctor has written a prescription for a laxative, but I'm too afraid to use it, in fear that it will give me an even worse attack?

Do a search for acacia -- there's a LOT in here. Acacia is the best soluble fiber; most of us are taking it. Check out Heather's link up on the left "IBS Supplements" -- you'll find her acacia in there.
You should be on a fiber supplement if you've been diagnosed with IBS. Has your GI told you what to take? Perhaps it's time to increase your dosage?
I was on Citrucel, but such a low dosage it didn't do anything for me. I bought Heather's acacia, and it made all the different in the world.

I have been taking acacia morning and night, 1tbsp each time. I am also taking citrucel during the day. I'm just trying to find a good balance to keep my BM or actually get my BM more frequent, especially during the afternoon, when things get the worse for me. And if I do have a BM, I never feel like I finish and that gets me even more C.
