It was bile. Same as last week, day 5 of a water fast, first thing in the morning after my shower. I got nauseous and threw up some bile. I’ve been supplementing with pink salt and drinking water and black coffee only. Has this happened to anyone else? It’s just so strange that it’s the same length, same day of the week, same time of day. Last week when this happened I broke my fast, this time I toughed it out but I am not opposed to breaking if I really start feeling bad.
Two thursdays in a row, I threw up

Timing is strange, but probably a coincidence. Sounds like gastrointestinal reflux. You might try acv in the morning.

Alright, I was considering that. I am a little bit prone to reflux on a “normal” diet anyway. Thanks red.

Did you break your fast ? I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but I don’t think you should power through this. You should listen to your body, it’s probably telling you that 5 days is your limit. You seem to be lean, so maybe you don’t have enough fat on your body to sustain a fast as long as that.

I did break it, but not until the planned finish Thursday night. I’m lean looking and at my goal weight but there’s still plenty of fat in my thighs, belly and love handles that my body can eat. I may just stagger shorter fasts for now and see how I do. Thank you.
