I intermittent fast the majority of days and have done so for nearly the last decade. I have a chronic illness that affects my GI tract, among other things, and it helps a lot.
Not getting hangry is a huge perk. Once my flight got stuck for hours in a small town airport with no food nearby. I was watching people get so weird about not eating for a few hours, but I was able to just be okay.
When I gotn UC, I started intermittent fast. Since then I havent had any more episodes. About 6 years now.
And yes, I have some coworkers that almost freak out if they don’t get lunch.
I have mast cell issues, so a bit similar. I still get the occasional food flare up, but just giving my guts a break works wonders.
Yeah, I went to the bathroom 8 times a day with blood in the stool. 2 weeks of intermittent fast together with probiotic food and I was back to normal again. Just in time when the doctor had time to meet me. I’m really grateful that it helped. Never needed any meds and I can eat what I want (but I still eat healthy food most of the time)
