Am I sick or are these things that happen in week one?

Doing 18:6 fasting with calorie count of 1300 (set by my fitness pal usin my measurements) so Iā€™m eating lower Carb than before to stay within calories but having some e.g a tbsp rice not half a plateful.

On day five. Woke up with intense muscle aches and spasms, a sore throat and have been to the toilet half a dozen times. Apologies if itā€™s TMI but I canā€™t trust a fart ATM

Other plausible explanation could be food poisoning or a bug. Partner hd similar symptoms and is not fasting. We are out at a chicken šŸ” restaurant yesterday afternoon which we have not visited before.

Any advice appreciated

In my experience thatā€™s not normal for starting IF (except I have occasionally gotten a little diarrhea in the past when drastically changing my diet, although fort me thatā€™s related to the content of my diet and not IF specifically). Sounds like something else is going on.
