Hi,
My wife just got interested in fasting and started reading / watching a lot of stuff. Almost all get sources say that you should defecate your bowels when starting and during the longer fasts. Is that true? Is there any literature to that?
Any other tips for beginners while we are here?
Thank you.
edit defacation is worded badly. I have no good Translation for this as a non native speaker. What I mean is basically forced defacation through some medicaments of sorts?
edit enema was the word I have been looking for.
You’re not going to completely empty or clean out your intestines during a fast. The bacteria in your gut (intestine) will continue to reproduce and die off and you will continue pooping it out.
A large part of your “normal” poop is this same bacteria.
