Uhh a little bit of a gross tmi question but I’m getting no good googled results😭

Bit embarrassing but I’m 120h into a water fast, and up until now I’ve had the usual watery/runny stool but for the first time its appeared normal? Despite not having had digested any food? Why is this???

Answer

Need more info lol. Were you consuming too much sodium or potassium maybe magnesium? I’ve been 160 hours into a fast and had a normal stool actually usually around 90-120 is when I find whatever I’ve had prior to fasting is passed normally so you shouldn’t worry. If you feel good keep up hydration and you aren’t passing blood it could be a huge number of things to pin point from over the internet.

Answer

I’m not sure, but I had a mostly normal bowel movement at day 4 before. I’m guessing what was in there finally made it’s way out. I wasn’t too concerned about it, but totally unsure why it took so long.
