Re: Day 46 - Ended fast today

Congratulations on an awesome fast. I have had loose bowel actions during a fast too that shouldn't be anything to worry about. There is often not much solid matter left in there to move of course but there can be a lot of debris that has been shifted during the fast and the body sends water into the bowels to flush it out. An enema from the right direction. :)

Your stomach feeling not quite right after eating isn't surprising seeing as you broke your fast before completion, take it very very easy for the next day or two until your bodies digestion system starts itself back up fully again. The watery fruit you do eat will certainly help this process as it passes through your intestines cleaning out what you still have left in there on the way.

A small note on refrigeration, I usually just cover up fruit that I will eat again later. Chilling it makes the enzymes inactive I think, and stops the ripening process which is otherwise ongoing until we actually eat the fruit and break it down while that process with the active enzymes continues on within our body. So if you have a spare container next time consider putting the orange in that until you're hungry for the rest. :)
