Okay, so I'm not Mags, and I'm D predominant, and so I'm only sympathetic when it comes to constipation, but I hope you don't mind my jumping in.
There's some great yoga poses that really helps ease the gas. There's one where you lie on your back and bring one knee up to your chest and hold. Whoo-ee. Clear the room! Here's a link for some other yoga poses: web page
Another suggestion - peppermint tea. It can really help relax the colon and the constipation. Also, it helps relieve pain.
Are you taking a fiber supplement? Might be a good idea.
Lots of water, walking also help.
What's in the meal replacement bar? There are often wacky additives, and dairy in those. I would be hesitant myself to eat one. Try some oatmeal or toast for breakfast instead.
Also, try adding more veggies in. Cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, are all good ones to start with. Try incorporating more cooked ones in your diet.
Hope this helps!
