Is it normal to go 4-5 days without a bowel movement if you previously had diarrhea?

Didn't know where else to put this post and I know lots of users tend to be in this section so here goes... I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease. 5 days ago I had a major episode of the runs (TMI I know). I went 8 times that day. It's been several days and I haven't had any type of bowel movement since. Is this understandable under these circumstances, or should I be worried? It's weird because I don't feel constipated nor am I bloating or cramping. Diarrhea isn't uncommon for those with IBD but last week was the most I've ever gone in one day. Any imput on this?
