Did anyone else fart a ton on their first fast

My first fast was for 36 hours. I am 30. My family and I are a bit concerned about my health because of it. And a week later I seem to be farting a lot more than usual still. And my first and second poop after the fast had mucus all over it.

Answer

36 hours isn’t even enough to fully empty your gastrointestinal system, so I doubt it’s related. Giving your body a break should actually be helping you clean out a bit, so definitely not something to go crazy over. Lots of people here do alternate day fasting full time, so a 36 hour fast isn’t anything to read too much into.

Answer

Lol. We just got off a 72 hour water fast and I just made this same comment to my SO. I rarely (I mean RARELY) ever farted before and I farted way more than I have this entire year in the past couple of days. My SO didn’t seem to think it was anything to be concerned about. Your gut biome has changed from the fast, so small changes are expected.
