Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation

My girlfriend has had constipation for 3 weeks and has only been able to go the bathroom upon taking dulcalax. This is not going well with her stomach and she is cramping and in severe stomach pain an hour after any food consumption. She is resigned to bed every evening with the pain. She has had a blood test which has came up clean but cannot function day to day. What can she do to relieve herself of this situation? Thanks, Ryan
