Mentally Constipated?

Hi,

So around 5 years ago my bowel/digestive system switched from efficient to lazy and constipated in a very short space of time, since then i still cannot get to the bottom of the cause, however for the past 2 years I have spent away from England on a working holiday; and my bowel habits improved.

I could have a great BM every morning. Now I have returned home to England and I'm back to how I was, struggling to pass stools and never feel comfortable leaving the house.

(Note: diet has been consistent in all countries)

A healthy/fibreous diet doesn't help hardly at all and I don't want to be dependant on laxatives.

I'm only recently thinking my bowel habits are helped/hindered by my mental happiness?

It's so frustrating, who can help me?

      Just because it was a great experience, and I'm not particularly sad here! It might be the tap water!

    I read things like that before too. Strange my problems started when I started drinking water only. I still only drink water. Also on holiday my problems are alot better.. So could be onto something. Try bottle water for awhile see if anything changes?
