Electrolytes destroying my gut

First time fasting with electrolytes, hoping to make it a lot easier to pass the 9 day mark. How do you consume enough without destroying your gut though. I've got some specific fasting salts, sodium, potassium and magnesium all in the mix. I'm already diluting them loads. If I dilute them anymore I'm going to be drinking crazy amounts of water per day. I can drink around 1/4 of the recommended totals in 2/2.5l. How do you guys get around this? I'm not gulping them down either, slowly sipping.

Answer

what makes you think it is destroying your gut?

is it just that you have disaster pants issues? that doesn’t really mean it’s bad for your gut, it’s just a side effect of getting a lot of electrolytes quickly.

Answer

Might be something you need to play with and figure out. I did similar ratios, the water and electrolytes were too much for my system

I found after a lot of practice and sorting that I react best with a lot less water than what is normally recommended and I needed to balance my electrolytes around that, too. I also stopped putting them in my drinks. I just take them straight at points throughout the day and man, what a game changer

Answer

What worked for me on around day 4 or 5 of a 7 day water fast was just ceasing the electrolyte supplementation all together. Drinking only water felt so much better. Fasting is obviously rife with potential side effects whichever way you do it, so tread lightly.

Okay so I thought i was the only one. Last week i was on day four of my fast and I woke up feeling light headed so I drank a glass of water with electrolytes and puked it all a few minutes after. Horrible. Also the tastes is ew after a day or two.
