I was rather ill on Saturday night and despite feeling fine since then I haven't ...well, been to the loo (in the bowel movement sense) since then. I don't feel particularly constipated, but this can't be normal surely?!

If your system has been totally emptied it will take a few days for it to fill up and start functioning normally. After a recent dose of food poisoning, I didn't go for 5 days after the v and d had stopped! A curry might help things along but so long as you drink plenty and don't feel bunged up, you should be fine.

Fair dos. I think my system was fairly thuroughly flushed (it was my first dose of what I assume was food poisoning and it was pretty dramatic, if mercifully brief...)
