Can not having a bowel movement in 3 days cause lower abdominal bloating, gas and what feels like a gurgling sensation? would the gurgling sensation be from the trapped gas?

Constipation can cause the symptoms you describe. The gurgling sensation is often the movement of the intestines as the fecal matter is being moved. Gas can also cause that sensation. There are over the counter remedies for constipation. Adding more fiber to your diet and drinking more fluids will help. Exercising also helps. If it continues, or you develop abdominal pain, see your doctor.
