I’m doing multiple chained rolling 3 day fasts. I have been experiencing intense nausea, as well as back pain along both sides of the spine. What could I do differently to mitigate such symptoms? They make it difficult to keep the fast.
i would say it could be a “healing crisis” where your body is directing energy to places that are problematic in order to clean it up and clear it out and heal…another issue though that would be less positive is that you’re putting too much pressure on your pancreas or kidneys? too much ketones in blood? are you getting enough electrolytes? i know some ppl develop things like kidney stones or gout when fasting or with a keto diet. i would be worried about intense nausea as that’s what i experienced when i went through refeeding syndrome and almost died. i would consult a pro-fasting medical doctor who is up to date on latest research and won’t poo poo your efforts but can also provide medical advice and intervention if necessary…good luck and hope you feel better soon! maybe switch to ADF while you try to figure this out.
