Reply to "Anyone with a j-pouch that practise fasting?"

I don't know if it counts as "fasting", but I have been NPO for long stretches of time when I have a small bowel obstruction. If I don't have an IV going for fluid, which I didn't during the initial Covid outbreak when it was too dangerous to be in a hospital, I would sip super small amounts of clear liquid. No way could I dry fast. Liquid is the only thing that keeps me going. Clear water, broth and jello keeps me somewhat hydrated, an absolute necessity for organ and brain function.
