Hi,
It sounds like you may have had a
gastrointestinal infection, such as
viral gastroenteritis or food poisoning, which can cause symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting. It's possible that your lack of bowel movement since Tuesday night could be related to this infection and the subsequent
dehydration, which can slow down bowel movements.
However, if you are experiencing
abdominal pain, bloating, or have not been able to pass gas, this could be a sign of a more serious issue and you should seek medical attention right away. It's also important to monitor your fluid intake and make sure you are staying hydrated, especially if you are still experiencing diarrhea or vomiting.
In the meantime, you can try to relieve
constipation by increasing your fluid intake, eating high-fiber foods, and using over-the-counter laxatives or stool softeners as recommended by your healthcare provider. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical attention to rule out any underlying conditions that may be causing your symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
