Constipation argh

Sorry for gross nature of thread. But I have suffered from constipation since my DS was born (17 months ago!!!!). It's driving me potty (scuse the pun). I've had blood tests and all was fine and take laxatives etc etc when it gets really bad. They do work but then I just get constipated again.

I drink loads of water, I get enough fibre, I put flaxseed in my breakfast, I take probiotics.

Any miracle remedies?!?! It seems to get worse around ovulation time.

Can't 100% put my finger on the problem @HeyRoly and I've also never completely solved issues, but I only really saw any improvement after I had counselling for anexiety at University. I honestly think it made a difference, appreciate not everyone will agree.
