Yes you should: its not normal for someone to not have a bowel movement after all that time,regardless of what you ate. I advise you to see a doctor.

Not to worry!: After an initial bout if upset stomach resulting in a diarrheal episode like yours, many will experience a period of relative constipation. This is a temporary phase and will return to normal when you maintain a healthy diet with lots of fluids.

Constipation: May benefit from a stool softener, increased fluids, fiber and exercise. If abdominal pain is present seek immediate help
