I Have Not Had A Bowel Movement After Diarrhea
Okay, so about a week ago, I came down with something. It gave me bad diarrhea, then it went away like a day after, then came back again. I don't really eat anything during the day, but now.. 4 days later, I haven't had a bowel movement. It feels like I need to go, but I can't. I haven't really been eating unhealthy. I was just wondering if there was a way with out over the counter drugs and prescriptions to have a movement. I find it rather irritating.

better you try to have healthy food .And even try to have more amount of liquid
Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.It is quite natural to get constipated after a bout of diarrhea as you tend to eat less and also you take anti diarrheal medicines.Eat normally and take PLENTY OF WATER orally which will flush your intestines.No need to take medicines.Thanks and good luck.
