Still Hungry on Day 9

It is coming to the end of Day 9 and I have still been experiencing physical hunger, quite a lot actually. I have decided that if my hunger has not disappeared by tomorrow or if I do not feel symptoms of reaching Stage 3 (in chrisb1's post about the different fasting stages) that I am going to end my water fast. What I was curious about is since my digestive system hasn't taken that rest yet do I still need to nurture it back into accepting food? Do I need to be as careful when refeeding since my digestive system never really shut down during this process?

(Update: I woke up this morning, Day 10, and the physical hunger has gotten stronger again so I do believe I am going to refeed today)
