Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

Irritable Bowel Syndrome may present itself as diarrhea or constipation or both alternating to each other. As the Gastroenterologist has ruled out any problem then most likely its IBS. For symptomatic relief you have to take diet rich in fiber and low in fat. Newer medicines like Linaclotide are very useful in IBS with constipation. Antidepressant drugs are also useful in IBS. I will advise you to please visit a Psychiatrist for proper evaluation of problem.

Thanks
