urination and constipation

okay so basically from friday night to sunday morning i had horrible diarrhea basically water, stomach cramps and nausea, it passed so i decided to start eating like normal again. latley though iv noticed that i feel a bit constipated, like i have to pass gas but its just stuck there, so iv been almost like trying to force myself to have a bowel movement and i think its messing me up.
i like have this pressure like,sorta full feeling in my waist, and it seems the constant urge to urinate even when theres nothing to go. it doesnt burn and it isnt of a weird color but this still worries me
so basically what im asking is could i be somewhat constipated after having the diarrhea, and because im trying to force a bowel movement alot, could that comehow be causeing these urination urges?

Give it a few days to return to normal.  I always take about a week or so.  Even though you went, there's still more in there, I'm sure, since you haven't gone in a little while.

Yes, your last paragraph is correct.  Often, after diarrhea, people are constipated for several days and this puts pressure on the bladder and this causes the urge to urinate.
You should return to normal soon.  If it doesn't pass, and things stay the same or get worse or new symptoms are added onto the problem, make a dr. appt to see what might be going on.  But so far, your post diarrheal episode is progressing normally.

Are you drinking enough water? If this continues for more than 2 days then you should see the doctor
