I’ve done water fasting for 7 days before, and I usually go to the bathroom for the first 3 days. But what about dry fasting? I will probably not poop if I don’t drink water. Is it okay? I’m going to...

When I was young I used to poop like an animal, basically when I needed to. Now older you could say its neuroses but I prefer to wake up eat with coffee then poop then shower. I hate getting out of...
Weeks into a fast and still making actual occasional turds. I've always assumed this is basically from digested GI tract cells as they are sloughed off and replaced. Is this the case or does food really take 3+ weeks to...
Hi Team, I've been doing IF for a while now and found it really is my favorite way to lose weight and feel healthy. My routine for the past 4 months has been essentially OMAD(dinner) but sometimes I'll have a small...
I just finished a 7 day water fast. Prior to this i had the routine of pooping once a day. During the fast, I only went twice - once on day 4, and once on day 7 after a 5k...

TLDR: I added salt to my water on hour 36 of my water fast, and I had to poop. Usually I stop pooping after hour 12 of no eating. Do others find the sam? I have been dabling with fasting the...
Is it just me. or is the first poop after a fast just REALLY smelly. I mean like, smells absolutely rancid and disgusting? A lot more than normal anyway. Anyone else?
Forgive me this is long Thanks in advanced TL;DR; How can constipation affect your body’s actually being in a fasting state ? I feel like I’m not getting there, any more or much… / So I have ibs-c which means prone to constipation....
I mean, I am, kinda, but not like a full bowel movement. More... Liquid. I mean, there's nothing to really digest, so it makes sense, but wouldn't my body keep producing waste anyway? Maybe not like full on bowel movements...

Broke a 5 day fast on Wednesday night. Haven’t been able to poop since, but I am farting nonstop. When can I expect to drop this load?
I've noticed that anytime I fast and on a ketogenic diet, a hard stool accompanied with blood comes out with lesser bowel movements. When I went back to an unhealthy diet (sugar and high carbs), I had more frequent bowel...
Hello, I couldn’t find answers to my questions. So, do you stop peeing after a few days of dry fasting? Isn’t that dangerous for the kidneys? Does brushing teeth count as soft dry fast? What happens if I break my...
I'm pretty experienced with fasting through Jason Fung's stuff and always had urgent, turbo poops shortly after breaking a fast. I tried psyllium husk, metamucil, various foods and macro-combinations, easing into breaking a fast and all lead me to full...

I’ve been doing rolling 72s since January 19th. Today was my third refeed. After my refeeds I’ve been eliminating extremely minimal amounts. I started taking fiber gummies (during my keto refeeds) to help the process but it doesn’t seem to...

Pork is often one of the last options people pick when choosing between meats. What do you think is the reason (apart from religious beliefs). It’s often one of the cheapest options and there are many lean cuts available.
