If your constipation is from autonomic dysfunction, than you should focus on motility, not just fiber and water. Domperidone can help and they now find that Mestinon (for myasthenia gravis) can be helpful for GI autonomic problems.

Urinary symptoms are a bit harder to treat...have you seen a specialist in neurogenic bladder for help with this?
