Tag: Fasting and digestion

According to several studies, a significant number of people experience side effects when they first begin intermittent fasting, with symptoms ranging from mild headaches to fatigue. This initial discomfort can make many wonder: can intermittent fasting make you feel unwell? The answer is yes, particularly during the adjustment period, as your body adapts to new eating patterns.

While fasting, your body undergoes significant changes, and many people report altered digestive patterns. This means that while some may experience more frequent bowel movements, others might notice a decrease or even constipation. Understanding these physiological shifts is key to managing your digestive health while fasting effectively.
