Been drinking electrolytes/water. So far so good. My hunger comes and goes . I’ve been pooping liquid poo. Is this normal? My longest fast prior to this was 6 days so this is something new for me .
I’m on my day 9 too!! Let’s keep it up! My last solid poops were after day 1 and day 3. I’ve had liquid poops on day 5 and day 7. I have been passing gas after my last bowel movement but the urge to poop has subsided after day 7. Also I have read a few comments on this subreddit that a cause of diarrhea during an extended fast could be due to a salt flush.
What are you going to break your fast with? I’m on day 3 of a 20 day fast.. I’m not sure what I should start putting into my body on the 21st day. I’ve done 10 day fasts before but always went back to eating like a pig but this time I’m going to stick to it… btw how much have you lost in those 9 days?

How much electrolytes are you taking? You’re likely taking too many electrolytes and causing Osmotic diarrhea. You only need a couple hundred mg of Sodium and Potassium while fasting daily to maintain electrolyte levels… less for magnesium.
Try a balanced electrolyte hydration solution like Lyteshow. I take it at ½ dose per serving and am currently on Day 9 of water fasting as well.
