5 days without faeces isn't normal; while there are causes (poor or absent stimulation, or low residue diets for example), it doesn't sound like that's what you're dealing with. If he's doubled his weight in a week, that's great; however, it does suggest there may be some underlying medical problem. I'd suggest another trip to the vets - he's big enough now the vet will be able to have a good listen and feel of his tummy, which may shed some light on the situation.
Good luck!
