Hello, I have read your query and from what you described your condition I would like to suggest that only thing that can prevent your constipation is your lifestyle modification.
As I am not aware of any other medical conditions that you might be having that might cause this or any drugs which you use for any condition which might cause constipation, I would suggest the following-
1-Try and increase your daily consumption of water to 8-10 glasses per day more if your work and climate make you sweat a lot.
2-Avoid caffeine and caffeinated drinks as they cause dehydration.
3-Avoid transfats in your diet.
4-Try to increase fibrous fruits like bananas,papaya,mangoes,oranges to more than 5 servings per day.
5- Try to increase vegetables in your diet.
6- Try to incorporate 30 minutes of moderate walk daily.
7-Try destressing yourself by meditation or yoga.
8- Sleep on time and wake up on time .
Yes, all these things help your condition as it's all psychologically connected as well.
Last but not the least reduce your codependency on laxatives as they only worsen your milieu interior.

Hope my advice proves to be of some benefit to you.
Goodluck.
