I think this is an individual thing. People always told me early on in my tenure in this gig that if I had anything but bone broth or some other bro approved food after a fast then I was doomed to explosive diarrhea and that furthermore my carelessness might even be a catalyst event that would trigger WW3.

What I have come to find out over time is that it really does not matter. I eat whatever I want when I break a fast now. Maybe I just have a strong stomach? Maybe I am just lucky? I dunno.

Answer

My first couple of 72 hour fasts end with extra toilet time, and it doesn’t seem linked to the food that I ingest, merely the process of starting the engines back up. This has happened to me if it’s been awhile since the last 72 hour fast. Somehow it calms down; have been doing rolling fasts and I’m not having the same issues, (and I am not slowly easing into eating). Wishing you success!

Answer

I’ve broken longer fasts (72+ hours) with psyllium husk, wait about an hour, some bone broth, wait about an hour, vegan protein shake, wait about an hour, then something light and easy to digest like a vegetable soup. Haven’t had any sudden digestive issues with this method. Maybe a couple minor stomach cramps. Everyone’s different though! Good luck!
