This has never happened to me in my whole life (apart from when I was a baby).
48 hours into my first fast, and a short time after having some electrolyte water, I went to the bathroom to pee, and something baaad happened in my trousers at the same time.
Is this normal? I’m so very glad it happened at home, and not anywhere else. I’d die of embarrassment.
I always, always, always get a bout of diarrhea at the 23.5 hour mark. It’s like clockwork.
I know a huge contributing factor is the electrolyte supplements, and caffeine can also contribute. When we fast, there can be oversecretion of water and salts in the digestive tract, and that’s what causes it. It’s pretty normal.
