Still not feeling great

I started my daughter (17 yrs old) on the IBS diet on Wed. She suffers mostly from constipation. She has been eating only soluble foods and is still constipated. We finally cheated and she took some dulcolax on Sat because she was feeling so bad. She is feeling much better otherwise - hardly any stomach aches like she was having. She is drinking water (probably not as much as she should be and taking two citrocel tablets - she forgets to take the other two in the evening. I should add that she's anemic, and has been taking iron supplements as well, which I am sure is adding to the problem. She stopped taking iron for a few days but is feeling tired so really needs to stay on them. She also got her period on Thursday.

Any thoughts? I think she is really getting tired of the diet, but she's a trooper and will do anything if it will help.

Thanks for any suggestions.
