Stomach aches from fasting?

  • I've been woken up in the middle of the night for 2 days straight with a stomach ache, hadn't happened in years.

    I've fasted before and never had this happen, but I can't think of any other thing different I've done this week.

  • What sort of fast, lenten or another type?
    What are you eating?
    Anxiety?
    Appendicitis?

    Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

    +RIP 2024

  • I’m not a doctor by any means but can relate to what you’re experiencing. My guess is it’s an adjustment your body (stomach) is making to doing something it hasn’t done in awhile. In other words, your stomach isn’t used to this. For me, and I mean strictly for me, a glass of milk always worked but you MUST drink plenty of water when fasting, plenty of it. I’m willing to bet by day 3 or so, the middle of the night pangs will subside. IMHO...God Bless and have a fruitful Lent.

  • Yes lots of water.  And add fiber.  You’ll have a great Lenten detox.
