Is this going to break my fast?

Hey everyone, quick question because I can’t really find a decent answer anywhere else. I’ve been doing 21:3 and it’s been going super well. The only thing is sometimes I get a headache and want to take some Advil or a stomachache and want a Tums but feel like I can’t because it’s going to break my fast. Is this the case or am I over thinking it?

Also, while I’m asking, should I only be taking my daily vitamins during my eating hours or does that matter? Seems to me like this one would matter more than the occasional medication. Thanks!

Technically…anything with cals break a fast…realistically…a few cals won’t. I mean…many say coffee is cool, but it has a a cal or 2.

Are the headaches new with fasting? Could be an electrolyte issue…which you don’t want to simply mask. You may need to watch your intake fir a bit and potentially start adding some salt mid day
