Feeling Rotten - Question about laxatives.........

Hi - I'll try to make this brief...

For a week now I've been feeling really crappy. I had an attack last Monday (the first in a couple of months!) then I was C until Saturday morning at which time I had a small movement. Saturday afternoon I had ANOTHER ATTACK! (The second in two months but less than a week after the first!) Since Saturday I've been bloated and in A LOT of gas pain.

My question is this - there have been a few times since I've been on this diet, with my SFS etc., when I've been C for at most 5 days. I don't take a laxative because I am afraid that my body won't "learn" to have a BM naturally.
Is it okay to take a laxative at those times - say once a month or twice a month max to stay "regular" to try to avoid the attacks later???
Any help would be appreciated!

Sore tummy!

Ana
