Constipation can come from Abdominal and low back muscles and Myofascial Trigger Points - or knots in the muscles. Take a look at

and click on Abdominal and Low Thoracic Back Pain muscles, together these muscle can contribute or cause constipation/dysfunction not just pain.
You may want to seek out a professional body worker and treat the above muscles followed by stretch.
I also encourage you to drink more water approx 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day. If you weigh 100 Lbs then drink 50 ounces total during the day. Avoid other bevs for a week and see what happens.
You may also ask your Dr. for the glove exam to look for a blockage or a full Col.
