I have a rather delicate question to ask regarding fasting. Does anyone else experience extra windiness when fasting? I don't have any pain, discomfort, cramps or bloating, it's just noisy on the days I fast (not so much for intermittent fasting).It’s isn’t really a problem but it isn’t socially desirable.
I've been eating low carb for 7 months now and I don't experience this effect after vegetables like cabbage. I don't know it's the fasting or the fact my internal "plumbing" is different than most people's - I had a extended hemicolectomy (the upper 1/2 of my colon removed) for cancer related reasons 2 years ago (no, I don't wear a colostomy bag as I had the top part removed). However I’m not windy at other times, just when fasting.
Anyone else out there experience this when fasting? Are there any others who've had part of their colon removed?
