Change of seasons, gained some weight, not sure .. but body doesn't want food. Fasting has always made me feel better in the past, so doing it again. Last time was 17 day water fast, after which I had problems with a "lazy bowel" (I have a history of ulcerative colitis (UC) so any issue with my colon / bowel movement always gets me concerned). Anyone have any advice? Not sure how long this fast will last, I think something relatively short as I'm not nearly as sick as last time .. maybe 7 or 10 days, we'll see. btw, I looked up the previous poster's reference to Dr Vetrano and saw that someone with UC was under her care and died (fasted for 29 days, went from 192 to 130 ...), there are also other suits against her. (tried posting url as reference, but system wouldn't allow) FYI.
