Re: Chris question about your response

Hi
I was just telling the original poster that around day 21 I have always been forced to break my fast because I am just regurgita stomach acid it burns and is painful as it comes up.Once I hung in there for 3 more days but by day 24 I couldn't take it any longer I had to stop.Its precisely what you say "I have seen a few cases that regurgitated and expelled gastric juice after the fast had progressed two, three and more weeks......" Thats me at exactly week 3/day 21 no such problem during the fast or in daitly living just at the 3rd week mark of my fast. Another reason I have to stop is the act of throwing up itself is painful as nothing else besides comes up, my stomach is literally empty I feel it there nothing left in there and its just the worst pain and even if I drink juice all I do is regurgitate it along with more acid and pain I have to have something a little more solid but obviously soft.

Reading your post I was just relieved knowing I wasnt the only person experiencing this. Before I always felt like a failure for failing to reach my goal and worse I had no control even drinking less water did nothing; a failure is what I thought I was for failing to fast to completion. Over the years I have come to terms that 21 days is my limit although sometimes I am not happy that a nuisance as powerful as acid can just put my plans to a halt grr...

You mentioned something about acid and the last morsel of food can you elaborate, cause my boyfriend always tell me "quit your'e done there no more food left in your stomach so its now churning its own acid" is this accurate I mean I do feel my stonach empty like I said earlier nothing but acid comes up during this time.The most burning question is at this 21 day and acid reflux point have I fasted to completion or not. I have always wondered if I finished the fast before I should have and I also wondered if this was a sighn that I am unhealthy or a sign of an underlying diesease. I am very healthy no conditions or allergies.

Quite a mouthful if anyone has any input please respond this has really bothered me for years and I have never been confident to call my fasts accomplished as I dont know if I was forced to stop before everything was completed.

Thanks
