Does anyone have chronic constipation?

Regarding peanut butter…I saw a nutritionist because I have IBS. Tried the FODMAP diet ( very hard) and learned the trigger foods which I avoid now. She told me that peanut butter was a good protein. I put it on rice cakes. But, there are days when I do feel constituted and wonder if the peanut butter is the cause. Someone mentioned that they weren’t diagnosed with IBS because they did not have bloody stools. Get another opinion because I never had bloody stools. My gastro has given me several Rx to try and all have given me terrible cramps, bloating and major diarrhea (can’t leave the house). I have been constipated for 3 days now and I do not want to take a laxative. Anyone else with this problem and found a solution? Thanks in advance.

It might be that peanut butter increases your constipation because it's high in protein and protein is more difficult for your body to break down and process.
