I have a jpouch, which means I don’t have a colon. I lost it due to colitis and I have a lot of gut problems (SIBO, dysbiosis).
Anyone have success fasting for their gut, either water or dry? What is the difference between water and dry fast, I have only heard Andrew Huberman mention that dry fasting doesn’t have any science to back it, but I have heard a lot of stories so I am willing to try it.
Thanks a lot!
>What is the difference between water and dry fast
By dry, compared with water, fasting, you:
do not consume deuterium via your water consumption (while metabolic water from fat oxidation tends to be deuterium depleted, drinking water can “dilute” it);
might produce more hormones like vasopressin and oxytocin which potentially have healing effects and might make the fast easier;
reach higher blood osmolarity which may have stimulating properties on the immune and detoxification (enzymes) systems.
