Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have problem of alternative constipation and diarrhea that may be because of irritable bowel syndrome or other reasons..
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems..
Start a treatment as per reason behind it...
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful..
I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
