The Refeed Squirts after approx. 40 hours - what's your experience?

I know to expect frequent bathroom visits upon refeeding after, say, 5 day fasts - or I guess even 3 day fasts? But I did my first 36ish+ hour fast on Sunday and resumed eating Monday evening, only to be visited by the squirts a few hours afterward. Was wondering if this is commonplace?

I didn’t slowly introduce food, as I didn’t expect any issues from a seemingly short fast. I didn’t experience any issues after - both before and after the squirts. I guess this is normal?

Edit: electrolytes were consumed during fasting

Answer

I thought for sure after a 5 day fast with a refeed heavy on coconut milk I’d be in for a nightmare of a time in the bathroom but was actually fine. I did add a ton of leafy greens though so maybe that held it all together in the end.
