Hi all,
I completed a short Water Fast of 5 days around 5 months ago. Since finishing the fast I have been left with a constant dry mouth/thirst and frequent urination of very dilute urine along with feeling fatigued. Anything I drink just seems to go straight through me without me absorbing the fluids. I can only assume the Water Fast caused this due to these symptoms starting when I finished the fast.
I have had blood and urine tests from my doctor which have shown low calcium levels in the blood and low urine osmolality (dilute urine).
I am wondering why this has happened and what I might be able to do to fix it?
I am being referred on to an endocrinologist. Who I assume will look at my hormones but this could take months! From my symptoms it sounds like there could be an issue with my anti diuretic hormone (ADH) which would be causing me to lose water. So diabetes insipidus (not related to Sugar diabtetes) could be a possible diagnosis but I hope that's not what this is. Or possibly something to do with my kidneys? It's a bit of a mystery to me right now.
I really hope it isnt any sort of serious condition and its something I can correct naturally myself but things aren't looking good at the moment.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with me and what I could do about it? Have you experienced anything similar? I am getting desperate and really need some advice.
I was really hopeful and excited during the Water Fast but am seriously regretting it now.

This is a reply to # 2,375,058I'm not sure if this would be helpful to you but here goes...
After my Water Fast I kept having this dry throat and thirst that you are describing.
After numerous doctor visits and weeks of suffering, the end results were as follows:
1) Over-eating
After you experience water fasting, your body cannot tolerate overeating the same way it could before.
2)Fruit, Fructan
Fruit for me is an no-no. The crazy thing is that I can eat Snickers or ice-cream but fruit is off limits because it is an diuretic and it produces that dry throat & thirst. My throat closes up.
3)FODMAPS
Some of the things in our diet we have accumulated a tolerance for. After fasting, it like our body takes the mask off and alerts us to the things we were originally sensitive/allergic to. For me, garlic has an extremely extremely pronounced effect on the dry throat and thirst. My throat now closes up. Before the fast I ate garlic on EVERYTHING. Now I cannot tolerate it period. I said that to say this: It may be something you are eating. Write down everything along with the quantity of each item. Cross check symptoms/food with the FODMAPS lists.
No amount of water I drunk would quench the dry throat and thirstiness. It was like my body was not absorbing water at all! It got so bad that my whole body broke out into these clear air bubbles.
Anyway,
Just a few possibilities. Please let me know what you figure out.

Have you done any Liver Flushes ?
It might be related to your liver and your gallbaldder.
Try at least taking 2-3 tbsp of Extra-Virgin Olive-Oil every day to cleanse your liver.
The problem is with your liver and with your intestines.
You may also be gluten intolerant.
Try the Elimination-Rotation Diet to figure out if your symptoms have anything to do with your diet .

This is a reply to # 2,375,202Thank you everybody for your replies.
White Shark, no I haven't done any liver flushes. I will look into this and give it a go.
I haven't eat gluten in a couple of years now as I am pretty sure I am intolerant to it anyway. I'd say I have a reasonably good balanced diet and have tried eliminating various possible food causes over the last 5 months since this started.
Currently due to see a endocrinologist and diabetes specialist soon since being referred by my doctor. I think they suspect it is Diabetes insipidus a very rare condition, not related to Sugar diabetes. Which would make healing very difficult as you simply cannot get properly hydrated with that condition.
I will be devastated if I have actually caused this by fasting. It sounds like one of those conditions no one knows much about or has any idea how to try and heal naturally.
Fingers crossed it's something simpler that I can sort out myself.
I will try the Liver Flush for now.- Re: Diet ? Liver flush ? Olive Oil... archus

Who knows,
I am sorry to hear that you have insipidus diabetes. I must say that fasting does not cause this condition.
There are a few things known about this condition. One, it can be caused by weak hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the other, it can be caused by weak kidneys.
For boosting hypothalamus function one should take omega 3, good fats, vitamin Bs and chromium. For kidney function one can do kidney cleanses, drink lemon water 3-4 times a day. Also regular exercise and yoga will help as well.
I am sure the doctors will give you drugs that will mimic hormone, vasopressin.
Please keep us posted.
Good wishes.

This is a reply to # 2,375,564Thanks for your reply archus. I haven't been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus as I have not seen a specialist yet. So as of now I do not have diabetes insipidus. Lets hope it stays that way and it's something that can be sorted out.
You can say fasting doesn't cause this condition but if I am diagnosed with it, it would be extremely coincidental that it started precisely after my water fast. Especially if it ends up being the kidney version of the condition.
If it is the Kidney version of the condition, hormone replacement does not work as your kidneys do not respond to the hormone.
I take the supplements you mentioned other than Chromium and I drink lemon water every day. I have always taken good care of my health and exercise regularly. So i'm unsure why I have these issues. Sadly the Water Fast seems to have done me more harm than good but I believe I will get back into balance somehow.- Re: Diet ? Liver flush ? Olive Oil... LUVAIR

5 days isn't long so hopefully you are fine. One thing I've wanted to try and find on the internet is people who have gotten worse after fasting. I have been more fatigued after fasting but less achy, and a rash is less than it was.
I still believe in it, maybe sometimes the symptoms can get worse when the body starts to push things out.
