Constipation problem: Constipation can be caused by multiple reasons. Usually when someone experiences " food poisoning" most commonly the symptom is diarrhea. In any case , constipation might be caused mostly by benign problems but in some cases it merits more extensive evaluation if symptoms persist. High fiber diet can help with constipation as well as plenty of water. If not better then visit your doctor.

Food poisoning: Food poisoning usually causes diarrhea and following diarrhea it is not unusual to skip bowel movements for 2or3 days. If you have an urge to have a bm but can't try a glycerin rectal suppository or a gentle fleets enema. If you have no urge, take senokot (senna) as a gentle stimulant.
