Welcome to HCM!
I understand your problem.
Lack of bowel movement is the side effect produced by one of the components of Meteospasmyl. It is not a short term side effect.
Mild signs and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can be managed stress contol and making changes in your diet and lifestyle.
Dietary changes:
Eliminating high-gas foods, eliminating gluten. Fiber supplements such as psyllium or methylcellulose, with fluids may help control constipation.
For the control of diarrhea you can use Loperamide.
