Please read all the stuff on this site about constipation - Heather has a couple of great newsletters about it in the "IBS News & Reviews" area.
Basically, you need to eat insoluble fiber from fruits and vegetables - that will help you get more regular. Having the soluble fiber along with the insoluble will keep you from getting all crampy. You have to play with the amounts of each - search this board for *lots* of discussion about how to do this!
Also: diet isn't everything. Sleep, stress management, and daily exercise will make your life a whole lot better.
It takes a while, but you will get stable!
