I've been constipated for some years, and at the start of the summer I started eating veggies and drinking 4 bottles of water a day to fix it. Well it really helped and it was wonderful for some time, but now I have another problem. I still drink water and all that, but lately I've been so scared of not going to the bathroom to poop every day, that I usually just push once when I don't even have to crap. If i feel the crap inside me I go to the toilet and force it out, instead of calmly waiting for the urge to come. Well I just got back from the bathroom, this time I purposley waited for the urge, and it took me like 35 minutes.
I probably have to wait for like 2 more days for my bowles to get back on track, but whenever there's a day where I don't have a bowel movement, I panic that I won't the day after that and so on.
Is there anything I can do to help my bowels get back on track again?

A problem

Benefiber will do the same thing, and won't make you fart. You can mix it in with drinks or food...it's tateless. Getting fiber from whole grains, fruit, and vegetables is a better solution, though.
Daily exercise will help keep the bowels moving, too.
