Hello,
You have probably got an infection from the sushi. All your symptoms point towards infection by a parasite called Giardia. Though there are other possible worm infestations, this is most likely. You can take Flagyl for this infection but I would advise you to consult a physician to get a proper abdominal examination and prescription for drugs.
Hope you get well soon.
