The Final test of fasting!

After you have broken your fast, whether it is intentionally or inadvertently, there is another challenge you must face. A challenge that will test your resolve.

Because you were involved in a fast for several days, it have been many days since you have used the toilet to make a deposit of solid waste. This is so because the body sensed danger and put a lock-down on the excretion of solid bodily waste.

The body has utilized the food in the digestive track from the colon to the small intestines, to source the nutrients it needs for energy and to sustain life. Let us not forget our excrement is packed with excess nutrients we cannot utilize.

As the body finishes extract the needed nutrient from the composition in the bottom of our colon, the body stashed it away at the bottom of the colon. The waste that is stored in the bottom of the colon contains very little nutrients, very little liquid and is extremely hard.

Here is where the problem began. The stash in the bottom of the colon becomes compacted, and at times it is a little wider that what your anus is able to allow to freely pass on a normal basis.

This coupled with the fact, your stomach have gotten extremely smaller, and your pancreas have not been producing enzymes in a quantity sufficient to break down large amounts of food.

As a result, you can only ingest a small amount of food at any one time. There for there is not enough food to aid in; peristalsis. Peristalsis is the involuntary movement of the intestines to cause food, to move along the digestive track, to the point of excretion, and there create enough natural force to move excrement out of the colon, and into the anus and out of your body.

Because there is no peristalsis going on to facilitate easy excretion, there is still the issue that needs to be addressed, the issue of emptying the colon. This means you will have to generate the force needed to pass the stool your body wants to emit.

This is going to be a difficult and painful process; there may even be some tearing of the anus to ensure that the excrement left the body. Once you are able to pass solid waste you have pass the worst. The relief you will feel is like no other. It will take a few days at the most for the small injury to your anus to heal. but all in all all of the benefits that are derived from fasting is worth the inconvenience and the pain.
