well you don't know who i am but i have a suggestion ,try stool softeners they don't make you go but they make it easier for you to go ,they'll stop the constipation and the diarea but they also have a side affect ,which is you can become dependant on them so to be perfectly honest drinking 8 oz glasses of water is the antidote.

I have been having the same problem for the past few months and was diagnosed with spastic colon/irritable bowel which is brought on by anxiety and stress. Nothing you can really do about it except to take Milk of Mag, Lomotil, etc.
