Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It is quite common that after loose stools episode, there is no stool for some time. It is because your intestines were completely cleared from the stool. So it can take up to 3 days for the stool to reach the rectum. And this is the time you should wait for the stool. You may increase fiber rich products and mineral water intake to help with bowels movements. Abdominal massage or physical activity can also stimulate bowels movements.
If after 3 days still there wont be no stool, you should visit your doctor and have abdominal X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, blood work done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
