Constipation, or constipation alternating with diarrhea, is usually 
caused by incorrect populations of bowel flora.

A complete story on bowel cultures, the implications of incorrect bowel 
bacteria,  and using specific prebiotic long-chain sugars (Inulin FOS) 
and possibly probiotics to correct this population is available.

You'll also find more than enough research to satisfy, including what 
amounts to a complete course "Inulin: A Comprehensive Scientific Review" 
which at this date is not available anywhere else.
