Pretzels. Either small regular ones or the sticks. I prefer the sticks. They are my only solution. I am also IBS-C, moderately A (Constipation with alternating Diarrhea). Obviously it would seem that the refined flour in the pretzels would be the last thing that you would want when you are already suffering from C, but the pretzels have been the only thing to settle my tummy when I have 'the gurgles' and or nausea. Don't eat a lot of them, just enough to fit into your hand if you cup it. And be sure you are drinking at least 64 oz. of water per day. If you can get 80 - 96 into you, that's even better for C. Also, try incorporating an apple once a day. Not the whole thing at once; just a couple of slices. Eat it very slowly in small pieces. I used to not be able to tolerate apple. My gurgles would be worse and then I would alternate to the D immediately  But I am to a point now where I can incorporate a little bit of fruit at a time throughout the day and it helps very much with the C. In fact, I rarely have D at all any more, or bad gurgles, cramps, etc. and am trying to incorporate more and more IF (insoluble fiber) into my diet. IF is VERY important for us C'ers. IF and water. Just finding the balance can be tricky.
Don't give up!!!
