I’ve been only a few days into intermittent fasting and since the second or third day I just could not stop drinking water for a second. At first I kinda felt it was something like my organism taking out the junk inside and felt good about it, but now it’s been a few day and my thirst only raised, my anxiety is kicking in and Idk what to do.
Has anyone here experienced that? Will it go away eventually? Do I stop fasting NOW??! I appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer it , thank you. (also this post was deleted from r/fasting for some reason)
I actually went through this once and ended up in the hospital with water diabetes. I never recovered fully and my salt and water balance has never been right afterwords. I’m always thirsty now. My urine is insanely dilute at all times now. I have to carefully measure the water I drink each day to make sure I don’t end up back in the hospital. They never really figured out what the cause was, but I know the trigger was me drinking like TONS of water while trying to fast.
