Broke a 5 day fast on Wednesday night. Haven’t been able to poop since, but I am farting nonstop. When can I expect to drop this load?

Answer

It took me about 4-5 days to poop after my 28 day fast.

If you’re worried, drink some senna tea (assuming you don’t have an allergy). I wouldn’t resort to medical laxatives just yet.

Congrats on completing a 5 day!!

Answer

Keep in mind it takes your body up to 48 hours to digest food. It will come lol. Also depends on what you refeed with. If it’s pure fruit like a smoothie it can happen quickly. Meat usually takes awhile. What we don’t realize is then we shit everyday, we aren’t eliminating the day before, it’s really 2 days before.
