I quit cannabis last week, and the sickening withdrawals inspired me to start fasting last Thursday. No food, just some water. The first shart came last night. I do have GI issues and have sharted many a time before, so I thought I was just living my truth. However, I went on to soil myself two more times the same night. At this point I was distraught, and my underwears were facing a lot of casualties. I assumed it was an effect of the fast and eventually went to bed. Well, I woke up the following morning to discover that I shit myself in my sleep. This brings my bowel incontinence tally up to four in less than 24 hours. So here I am today, with my stomach feeling wonky and my asshole clenched with fear. It’s watery, yellow, and doesn’t even smell like shit anymore. Has anyone had a similar experience to this? I think I should break my fast today because I have to keep going to the toilet and I’m afraid of browning in my sleep again. Any advice is welcome 🙏🏻
I’m just starting my first ever extended water fast for lent , on day 5. I have had some gastric distress and trusted a fart 2 days ago while in bed. BAD IDEA.
I’m feeling much better now.
Not sure if you are taking electrolytes, but my guts were turning when i was drinking my electrolytes and had diarrhea 2-3 times a day. I’m still dialing in amounts of electrolytes I’m taking. Not sure if it was lessening the electrolytes or if I’m better because I’m on day 5 and was kinda getting clean out for the first 2-3 days?
