hi guys, I am on day 5 of my water fast. on day 4 and today, I have had problems with stomach acid so used salt and found it helped. does anyone know why and whether it is ok to add salt to a water fast? I researched a bit and there is nothing on point. I wonder: does it neutralise the stomach acid??- Re: water fasting and stomach acid a... archus

This is a reply to # 2,404,559Salt or any supplements are not recommended during a water fast. Sea Salt is very hydrating if taken with water, however, it also sends a signal to your brain that food is coming in, your digestive system stays active. Digestive system uses the most energy in digesting the food. You need the digestive system to rest and conserve energy for healing. Partial eating leads to starvation.
So please stick to water only.
Good wishes.

This is a reply to # 2,404,565Thank you so much for your help. I stopped the salt. I was still throwing up acid after that but I have done more research and I think it is quite common? Nevertheless I am feeling a bit braver and this Is Day 7. I do not know how long more I will continue but I think I am prepared the break the fast after today if I feel I should. This is my first long fast and I was using bottled mineral water. I would like to experiment with distilled water the next time. Thanks ever so much for your help.

This is a reply to # 2,404,750You are most welcome. Great job in going long. Throwing up acid is ok, your body throwing out what it needs to.
Break your fast with citrus organic fruit juice, freshly squeezed or a tomato. Then build your appetite slowly. Also drink plenty water.
