Summary of Transcript:
In this YouTube video, the speaker explains that after prolonged fasting, digestive problems such as diarrhea, gas, bloating, and nausea may occur because the digestive system has “gone to sleep” and needs to be eased into food consumption slowly to avoid overwhelming it. Starting with cooked vegetables and broth, waiting a couple of hours, then consuming small amounts of easy-to-digest protein like fish, chicken, or eggs is recommended. Other tips include taking supplements like apple cider vinegar, hydrochloride, purified bile salts, or enzymes to aid digestion. The speaker also warns of the rare condition called refeeding syndrome which can occur if nutritionally deficient individuals consume high-carb, refined carbohydrate or high-sugar food after fasting for a long period. This can create an electrolyte deficiency which can cause weakness, confusion, and put a strain on the heart. Taking electrolytes and nutrients throughout the fast is encouraged to avoid this.

How to Prevent Digestive Issues When Breaking a Fast
Breaking a fast can lead to a variety of digestive issues, including diarrhea, gas, bloating, and nausea. This happens when the digestive system has gone to sleep and has yet to wake up. To avoid overloading the system, it is best to start simple and wait for the system to adjust.
What to Do After a Prolonged Fast
If you have fasted for more than 48-72 hours, it is best to start with some cooked vegetables and broth. Wait for two hours and then consume 3 oz. of easy-to-digest protein, such as chicken, fish or an egg, and/or a small amount of avocado. Additionally, you might take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride, bile salts, enzymes or probiotics.
What to Avoid After a Long Fast
It is best to avoid nuts and nut butters, red meat, raw cruciferous vegetables, and dairy products. These foods can overtax the digestive system if consumed immediately after a long fast.
What Is Refeeding Syndrome?
Refeeding syndrome is a rare condition that could occur if you were deficient in certain electrolytes and then you did a prolonged fast, and then you consumed refined carbohydrates or high-sugar foods. Doing so could spike insulin, leading to electrolyte deficiencies in the blood, which can cause weakness, confusion, and strain the heart. To avoid refeeding syndrome, avoid high-carb food, and take certain electrolytes and nutrients during your fast.

Let’s talk about why you might experience digestive problems when you break a long fast and how to help prevent these digestive problems.
Digestive issues you could experience after breaking a prolonged fast:
• Diarrhea
• Loose stool
• Gas
• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Nausea
This could happen because, basically, your digestive system has gone to sleep, and it hasn’t woken up yet. You don’t want to eat a large meal after a long fast because you will overload your system. You need to start small.
If you’ve done a fast for 48-72+ hours, the best thing to do would be to start with some cooked vegetables and broth. Then you would want to wait for two hours and then consume 3 oz. of protein that’s easy to digest, like fish, chicken, or an egg. You could also do a small amount of avocado.
After a long fast, you may also want to take certain things, such as:
• Apple cider vinegar (ACV) or betaine hydrochloride
• Bile salts
• Enzymes
• Probiotics
Foods to avoid after a long fast:
• Nuts and nut butters
• Red meat
• Raw cruciferous vegetables
• Dairy products
There is also a condition called refeeding syndrome, which is very rare. This could occur if you were deficient in certain electrolytes, then you did 1-2 weeks of fasting, and then you ate a refined carbohydrate or high sugar food.
This will spike insulin, which can cause electrolyte deficiencies in your blood. This can lead to feeling weak and confused and can even create a big strain on your heart about 3 hours later. You can avoid this problem by not having a high-carb meal and by taking certain electrolytes and nutrients during your fast.
