Hi - Ask your doc about switching brands of birth control pills. If you know the drug is causing the problem, you shouldn't stay on it, especially if you're resorting to laxatives as a result. Yasmin is getting really bad word of mouth for IBS. Other brands have lactose as a filler ingredient, and that can cause problems. Ask your doc for ideas about other brands, and about other pill formulations that are less likely to cause constipation.
Best, Heather
