Constipated after taking Imodium - TMI

TMI for anyone not interested in bowel habits.

Had a really sudden attack of diarrhea on Thursday night after going for food with a friend. Very out the blue and rare for me. Didn't improve over Friday and no other symptoms. Had a hen weekend to go to so took an Imodium to sort things out. Normally I'd let it run it's course but when there's two loos between 14 women, i wanted to take a precaution. obviously drank a bit on the weekend but felt fine. Now it's occurred to me I've not had a bowel movement since Thursday night or a solid one since Thursday daytime. Not even a 'hangover' poo - you know the one. Should I take something else? Wait for it to run it's course? I feel fine thankfully but bit concerned.

Tmi but this happens to me. Drink LOTS of water. I think part of it must be the system recovering from the diarrhea
