Strange virus?

DD#1 had diarrhea for 5 days.  Now we are day 2 of no poop at all.  Not a single other symptom.  No pain, change in appetite, fever, anything.  She is active and wild as ever. 

How long do I let her go without pooping?  Do I let her be until she's uncomfortable? 

I haven't worried about this kind of stuff since the twins were newborns!

So many days of diarrhea probably completely cleaned out her system and it's just taking time for waste to build back up to the point of needing to be eliminated.
I would keep an eye on her for another day or two, provided she's not uncomfortable and watch that her abdomen doesn't start looking distended/swollen. With no other symptoms I would probably assume it's a virus that has run it's course.

Thanks, I was wishful-thinking the same thing.  She is happy and fine and frankly, the worst patient when she's sick, so until she is miserable, I keep hoping she's done.  THanks!
