Diarrhea on IF second day

Yeah so I have a lot of diarrhea … I am sure it’s the intermittent fasting that is causing it because I didn’t change anything else in my diet or routine… I know that it is normal to have some diarrhea when breaking your fast (currently doing 16:8 ) and yes the diarrhea is worse since I broke my fast but when I woke up this morning, I went to the bathroom and had diarrhea after drinking a glass of water with some Pink himalayan salt. I also drank some green tea . Maybe it’s the tea (I read online that ut can cause diarrhea on IF ) or maybe the water ? Since I didn’t have anything in my stomach this morning when I drank my water… My question is : since I want to continue doing IF can I take things that won’t break my fast but will stop the diarrhea ?

Sorry for the multiple use of the word diarrhea…

Thank you in advance…

Answer

Do you still have your gallbladder? I realized that I can’t do long fasts without diarrhea because once I eat something I have the symptoms that my surgeon told me was possible when I got my gallbladder removed a decade ago. Never had that issue before starting fasting though.
