Likely medicine side effect, wait and see
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. if the constipation alternating with diarrhea is not a chronic symptoms and does not recur repeatedly then no worries as this constipation may be attributed to the bismuth salts you took ( Bismutol).
Give it some time as it likely is medicine sequelae. Use plenty of fluid and fiber and wait and see. Meanwhile adapt good bowel habits, increase fiber intake, aim for 14 gram at least for every thousand calories.
if this feeling of fullness and nausea and constipation alternating with diarrhea continues i would like you to get evaluated for some causes like functional bowel issues as IBS. Defecography, colonic transit studies and stool examination and breath tests etc may be advised but right now let's give this constipation a try with diet and lifestyle modifications.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Thank you for getting back to me
With these episodes prolonged and before stomach flu , I am afraid you will need a consult to a doctor. They will run some labs. My suspicion is ibs.
Follow above mentioned home remedies and try small frequent meals and avoid fatty meals. See if it helps.
