Bowel leftovers? Or did I screw up my refeed?

Haven鈥檛 eaten anything in 72 hours but I let out a lot of solid matter. I just broke my fast with almonds, watermelon, and a few chocolate wafers. Can food really move that fast through your system or am I just dealing with leftovers from 3 days prior?

馃槀馃槀馃槀 the nuts are fiber and take time to digest. With that being said everyone鈥檚 body is different to some extent. I broke a 3 day fast with bred dipped in olive oil and herbs, salad, chicken with cheese ham, and I had explosive diarrhea. Literally had to run to the restroom from the table

Answer

You whole metabolism just kinda closes up shop while you fast (kinda like when you sleep). When you refeed it鈥檚 like the factory all comes back online, and sometimes there鈥檚 still stuff in the pipeline that鈥檚 been fermenting for a while that makes a very sudden exit. Never trust a fart!!
