If you had a very thorough cleaning out of your bowels it isn't unusual to have no further stools for 2 or3 days until fecal matter reaches your colon again. You're experiencing increased bowel sounds as your intestinal tract is is still being stimulated by the laxative effect. This should wear off over the next day or so.

Unable to have normal bowel movements. Laxatives no longer work. I have to strain to the point of nearly passing out to pass liquid stool or gas. No bowel blockage shown on X-ray or CT scan. What could the issue possibly be?
