Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of bloating, vomiting and diarrhea at 3 am followed by normal appetite for solids but no bowel movements and wants to know the reason.
It is possible that you took something like Imodium or so and the bowel movements stalled.
I would advise you the following:
Get clinical evaluation.
X-ray of the abdomen for fecoliths and if present go for enema to clear the bowels first and then only think of taking laxatives if there is no intestinal problems or something like enteric fever or so.
I find this answer helpful
