Bloating after fast


(Stephen Readman) #1

Hello all,

My partner, who has been ketogenic for about 6 weeks, just completed a 3 day fast, she felt great throughout, no issues.

After ending the fast she is feeling bloated every time she eats, and even after coffee, she feels a little sick and bloated around her tummy.

She ended her fast 3 days ago, and it’s still happening this morning.

Juat wondering if there are any possible reasons for this.

Thanks in advance.

Is she getting enough salt? I’m not sure how it’s supposed to work, but apparently sometimes getting more salt leads to less bloating. Couldn’t hurt, worth a try, anyway.

Hi Paul,
I do keep telling her to take more salt, I’ll ask her to give it a go, see if it helps. She never had this problem previously though, only after ending her fast.

Tell her she only needs to increase her salt for a day or two, just to see if it helps.

I’m not promising it will work for her, only saying it’s worth a try. If it actually does work, hallelujah!

Just ended my fast and have the same issue… did the extra salt resolve things? Thanks

She hasn’t complained of bloating after a fast since, dont know if it was the salt or not, but couldn’t hurt.

I still have to remind her to up her salt intake though!
