What Causes Constipation Upon Changing Diet?

I changed my eating habits. Starting eating very clean and healthy. I drink a protein shake (30g) after workout and started taking Iron, Calcium and fish oil. This was all in the same day. Now I can t poop. It started Monday, took a laxative on Thursday night. It made things work, but now as the day goes on, I can t poop anymore. My stomach feels like someone is punching it. What is happening?
