Diarrhea with intermittent fasting

I am on OMAD and consistently get diarrhea shortly after consuming my meal of the day. Any reasons for this? I also always get diarrhea after breaking longer fasts. I have tried drinking bone broth to break but it still leads to diarrhea. Any advice?

Keep Calm and Fast On, everything is pretty normal.

Answer

Unfortunately that’s something that happens and it’s really good you at least tried breaking your fast gently with bone broth. I’m guessing the reason it happens is because the digestive system starts again, and that’s what causes everything in our bodies to start up? Sorry, that doesn’t sound quite smart. But I’ve been practicing IMF for almost two years and ADF with one year and…honestly, no matter what I break my fast with, I get the runs >_< I would suggest maybe breaking your fast with small portions and waiting a while to see how you feel? It’s completely normal though, good luck!
