I am wondering how many people have bowel movements post day 3 of fasting.
If so how often?
To me it’s both logical not to have any - no food coming in. But, also logical to have some as good inside body is being processed.
This is pretty normal. On my last fast I had a bowel movement on day 8 (i kept some detailed records during my last water fast), and then there is the warning: “Never trust a fart” after day 5. On day 5-6 you will get the squirts with a dark blackish stuff. All the stuff your body is cleaning out.
This will happen on and off after day 5.
NEVER TRUST A FART lol
I’ve always wondered if there was something being excreted from the body proper into the bowels. The other explanation is that you have crap (literally) left in our bowels from weeks or months past, and you really do not want that. So welcome all of the BMs that happen.
