Just diagnosed with acute gastritis and ulcerative colitis. Is it normal not to have a bowel movement yet?

I got severe bloody diarrhea last tues around 2:30 am until about 12pm on Wed. I was rushed to the hospital/admitted and put on fluids (sodium chloride and potassium) and later dextrose for Wed-Friday none stop.. Today is now Monday and I still havent had a bowel movement since Wed. I am getting concerned. I mete with my internist and gastrologist this Thurs as a followup so I definetly with let them know. I am also on 500mg of Flagyl 3 times a day and once a day of Levaquin 500mg once a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned that I havent went yet? Is it side effect from the meds or the potassium?
I forgot to add that The doctor did perform a colonoscopy & a biopsy. I get results this week from the biopsy

Is it possible to see lymph nodes in the colon under a light microscope?

I have samples of a colon biopsy, one stained with AB/VG and the other H&E. I am trying to determine the stage of cancer using dukes staging, I just have no idea what a lymph node looks like… any ideas?

Cheers
Are they actually located in the colon?
