Is it bad that five days ago i had diarrhea and i haven't had a bowel movement since then?

It is not unusual: It is not unusual to have no bm when recovering from diarrhea or gastroenteritis as you change your diet with more fluids and it can take few days to return to normal bms after resuming regular diet.
