I came here toake a thread about IF but saw yours. Just wanted to report to everyone Ive lost about 35lbs in the last 8-9 months fasting. More importantly I have not needed antibiotics for 3 1/2 months and counting. Before I was rotating antibiotics every 4 to 6 weeks. I do believe there really is sonething to fasting. We will see if it has diminished benefits in due time.. Even the 6hr feeding window method works well ajd I sometimes throw in a 30+hr fast once a week ideally. I would like to do a 72hr fast one day. Take it slow amd work into it. Fasting is great because I eat what I want during my feeding windows. I have always had somewhat low level pouchitis so not sure how this will work for more severe cases but in my opinion and in ky case its almost a miracle solution so far... will checl back in later. Take care
